The City Council convened on January 13, 2026, to review and approve seven agenda items, primarily consisting of contract amendments, change orders for infrastructure repairs, and public works contracts. The meeting addressed ongoing engineering services for the Northern Riverwalk Phase 2, various sewer rehabilitation close-outs, facility roof replacements, security enhancements, and an authorization for an airport hangar lease transfer. All presented motions were approved unanimously with no recorded opposition.
Approve agenda item number one approval contract amendment to the engineering service contract with McGifford for the Northern Riverwalk Phase 2 project total $518,680. Mike? Well, not much. It was Mike loves the spotlight. I had to fight until let me take the podium. Um good afternoon, Council. This is as it says here, an amendment to the engineering services contract with McGifford. This should be the final amendment for this contract. This will take uh the support for McGifford all the way through the remaining design and all the way through the construction phase. Uh in the amendment, what we're adding here is the final design service is to go from 90% to 100% for the design, as well as engineering services during construction. So that's observations, making sure the quality that we want from the construction projects being delivered, as well as some testing services during construction. So this is about 1.6 or 7 miles of pavement, making sure that we get the right compaction during the construction phase. That's what this uh amendment is due to provide. Bill, what's the the big pieces of the river walk project? This is phase this is the last 10% of phase two. Is that right? Yes, sir. So the 10% is referring to the execution of the design. So where we're at right now, um the the final design, and I don't mean to mix terminology here between final and 90% 10%. The final design is the changes that were requested when they submitted the preliminary design. So McGifford's working through those, they'll submit to us. We'll make sure everything's 100%. And so that's that 90% to 100%. We're talking about the design portion of the project, and then the project itself. Uh if you recall, about five miles north of here, this is going to connect the end of Northern Riverwalk phase one, which is the Randall only park trailhead portion up to to the northeast, the end of the McRights Ferry Road pedestrian bridge. So the construction project, uh 12 foot wide paved path, multi-use path, uh largely follows the the route of the water and sewer maintenance road. It's a gravel road through that area today, and it'll um extend the end of the northern riverwalk phase one, that gold star at the bottom left to the northeast, the end of the pedestrian bridge from McWright's Ferry Road. Did we not have a second item related to this on the project's agenda as well? There is an item, I believe, on the finance committee related to this, which will be to put the budget in place. There's a WAPR on finance, but yes, sir. I thought that was another one. Okay. I don't have one motion. Second. All in favor. Thank you. Thanks, Blue. Just item number two, approval change order number five with price civil served for 2023 sanitary sewer rehab and repair projects and done $12,884. Yes, sir. Um, so this is the close-out change order for the sanitary sewer rehab and repair contract. So it's this is funded from all from an operational count, uh, water sewer pipe, manhole repair and rehab. Um we had so this is our on-call contract for when we get a call out, we need to fix something. We'll go out there and fix it. We'll also use this to uh make repairs that uh proactively as they become evident through our video inspection through that process. So last year through this contract, we had 49 uh work orders, about 70 percent were proactive, third percent reactive. Um so any questions. Does that run calendar year? Runs calendar year what uh yeah, I'm sorry, fiscal year. Run this year. So after the beginning of October, this 12 and change is what was left over.
