Wita city airport capital project to rehabilitate the runway coming up, the city was presented an excellent time to replace a city sewer line.

“This was an opportune time to replace the city’s main sewer line which runs across the southern portion of the airport runway (Runway 35),” said Seth Atkinson, city administrator.

While the line did not seem to be in jeopardy of imminent collapse, taking this opportunity was a precaution to ensure that the pipe is in the best condition before the runway is milled up and replaced, he said.

“Due to time constraints, the city staff approached the council about awarding this to the winning bidder and ratifying the notice of award later,” said Atkinson. “The project has now been completed but staff is requesting that the council ratify the mayor signing the Notice of Award.”

The winning bidder was Johansen Construction Inc. who also completed the city’s major water project several years ago, Atkinson said.

“We have worked well with their company and they have done great work for us,” he said.

The initial contract price was $95,063.22, based upon unit bid prices and estimated quantities. The final contract price will be determined in accordance with conditions of the contract, said Atkinson.

The job was now completed, he said.

Shari Cowan, council member, made the motion to ratify the mayor signing the Notice of Award to Johansen Construction Inc. Jeramie Callaway, council member, made the second and all voted in favor.
