SUBJECT:SANITARY SEWER AND MANHOLE REHABILITATION PROJECT
(BASIN 11)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
At its February 24, 2026 meeting, the City Council accepted the report of bids for the Sanitary
Sewer and Manhole Rehabilitation Project (Basin 11) and delayed the award of the contract to
allow staff to comply with procedures necessary to fulfill requirements of the State Revolving
Fund (SRF) program. The SRF program provides funding in the form of a loan for the
project.
T h e Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies SRF funding for the project with debt service
payments being made from revenues in the Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund.
The SRF loan will provide up to $2,100,000 of funding for this Sanitary Sewer System
Improvements program. This Council Action is to set the date of public hearing on March
24, 2026, which is required to proceed with the SRF loan, and award the project to the
low bidder, Municipal Pipe Tool, of Hudson, IA.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Set March 24, 2026, as the date of public hearing to enter into a State Revolving Fund
Clean Water Loan agreement in an amount not to exceed $2,100,000.
2. Delay the hearing on the loan agreement.
3. Finance these improvements from other revenues sources.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Setting the date of public hearing will ensure that City staff can proceed with the loan
funding and sanitary sewer system improvements plan as previously approved by
Council. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, as described above.
