Summary
Staff told the council a low‑bid contract to Apollo Construction will add a second well station at the same site as Well No. 1 to increase water capacity and redundancy; construction is planned to begin in spring and continue into 2027.
Jonathan Adams briefed the council on consent agenda item OPR2025‑0827, describing a low‑bid award to Apollo Construction for Well Station No. 2. Adams said the project will be sited alongside Well No. 1 (built in 2022–24) and represents the second phase of a project originally bid together in 2021.
Adams described the work as an infrastructure investment to increase system capacity and redundancy for core supply lines. He said the projects were split after prices came in high in 2021 and that phase two construction is planned for spring with work continuing into 2027.
Councilmembers asked for clarification about scope and timing; no substantive questions were raised about costs during the briefing. The item was presented as a consent agenda briefing; councilmembers were told the administration will follow up with the usual contract paperwork and notice to the successful bidder.
Next step: the contract award appears on the consent agenda for final approval at the regular meeting.
