City Council Meeting 05/26/2020 07:30 PM 149 Hodgden Street S, Tenino, WA 98589

WORK SESSION

• 1.Councilmember Watterson has been in discussion with two firms who have presented us with a grant opportunity that would set the stage for a bio-digester operation at our Wastewater Treatment Plant.  He wishes to emphasize that:

  1.  It's not a grant that the City will receive; it is a grant that the companies will use to do work on behalf of the City.  The companies do, however, need a letter of support from the City to proceed with the grant application.

  2.  The State of Washington has what is called an Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) program by which we sign an agreement with the State to use a predetermined contractor, which in this case, would be MacDonald-Miller.  They would manage the project and have set processes they must do to be a part of the program.

OLD BUSINESS

• 5.The current agreement for the extension of the City's sewer and water mains to the Ag Park Property would see the mains ending at the edge of the property.  Gibbs & Olson proposes to sub-contract with SCJ Alliance to provide the Engineering documents that will be required to bring service lines onto the property for the purpose of distributing sewer and water service to each of the proposed building locations on the site.  Proposed Amendment Number 2 provides the mechanism for the City to authorize Gibbs & Olson to enter into such a subcontracting agreement and for the City to pay Gibbs & Olson for those services.  Proposed Amendment Number 2 has been reviewed by City Attorney Hughes and he has no objections.
  
  

  Recommended action:  Move to authorize Mayor Fournier to execute Amendment Number 2 as presented.

  Recommended action:   Move to support this effort by authorizing Mayor Fournier to issue a letter of support and to enter into an agreement with the State of Washington to utilize the services of fMacDonald-Miller in pursuit of the opportunity.
