CITY MANAGER SAUNDERS' REPORT
Construction of two Wet Wells
City Manager Saunders stated that two lift stations are planned in the vicinity of the
Jacks Lake Road project. Lake County is awarding the Jacks Lake Road project to
Hewitt Construction and he discussed with Hewitt the possibility of building the two
wet wells when they do the rough grading for the road. Substantial excavation will be
required which will be significantly increased if the wells are built after the road is
constructed. Hewitt Construction quoted $41,011 to build the two wet wells in
conjunction with the rough grading for Jacks Lake Road. City Engineer Springstead
believes this will save several thousand dollars.
96-271
A motion was made by Council Member Dupee, seconded by Council
Member Cole, and carried unanimously to award the quote for two wet
wells adjacent to Jacks Lake Road to Hewitt Construction for $41,011.
