Reduce contractor markup and extend wastewater treatment contract 5 years

Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously approved a contract amendment with Veolia that will reduce costs for wastewater treatment plant upgrades while extending the company's operating contract through 2027. Under the new terms, Veolia's markup on capital projects like equipment upgrades drops from 24% to 16.5%, which should save the city money on future improvements to the treatment facility. The contract extension provides operational continuity for the plant that treats the city's wastewater. This continues the council's pattern of routinely approving contract modifications, with most members voting yes on contracts over 95% of the time.
