Council awards $114,781 CIPP sewer-lining contract to Mayer Specialties

The Washington City Council on Feb. 7 awarded a Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) contract to Mayer Specialties to line approximately 5,385 linear feet of 8-inch sewer pipe at $21.25 per foot, plus a $350 mobilization charge, for an estimated total of $114,781.25.

Council member Theresa Herrs moved to accept the Mayer bid and authorize the mayor to sign the contract contingent upon City Attorney review; the motion passed unanimously. The council also authorized the usual contract-signing process and contingent legal review.

Council members emphasized the project as a cost-effective way to rehabilitate aging sewer mains without full excavation. The motion covered both acceptance of the Mayer Specialties bid and authorization for the mayor to execute the contract after the attorney’s review.

The award follows the city’s procurement process; specific start dates and a project schedule were not specified in the meeting record. Funding sources for the contract were not specified at the meeting.

The council vote to accept the bid was recorded as ayes from Jerry Fuhrken, Theresa Herrs, Terry Morse, Carolyn Pinnick and Roxanne Schottel. The contract authorization remains contingent on City Attorney review.
