At its April 7 meeting the Bullhead City Council approved several staff-recommended contracts and routine procurement items totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars and ratified emergency work on a city well.
Human Resources Director Canden Stanley asked the council to approve a three-year co-term subscription agreement with NeoGov for the city’s HR, payroll and recruiting modules totaling $578,536.60. Stanley said the contract consolidates modules the city already uses, estimates the cost at roughly $193,000 per year and described per-employee pricing. ‘‘This request aligns all contracts into one agreement so that we can simplify management and improve cost predictability,’’ Stanley said. Council approved the item 6-0.
The council also approved a $494,098 construction contract with TR Orr, Inc. to build a new 1,213-square-foot restroom near the Bullhead Bell at Community Park. Public works director Angie Johnson said the restroom will include six ADA unisex stalls and a family restroom and is funded by an Arizona Parks and Trails grant; bids were opened March 18 and TR Orr was the responsive low bidder. The motion carried 6-0.
On municipal legal services, council approved a professional services agreement with Ray Lundberg, Attorney at Law Inc., not to exceed $150,000 to provide primary legal defense services for municipal court after an RFQ process and interviews with finalists. The vote was 6-0.
Utilities staff asked the council to ratify an emergency rehabilitation contract with Subsurface Technologies to restore production at Well 16-1 (Mesa Vista). Utilities Director Mark Clark explained the 50-year-old well had mineral deposits choking flow and the rehabilitation uses CO2 injection and brushing/bailing. The line-item amount presented was $73,640 plus applicable taxes; during discussion an after-tax total of $79,236.44 was cited. Council approved ratification 6-0.
City Manager Toby Cotter and department leads emphasized the competitive procurement steps taken where applicable and said the city will continue public outreach for these capital and service investments. Several council members praised staff for the transparency of the budget and procurement process.
