Adamsville Pump Station upgrade seeks nearly three more years for completion

An ordinance listed for first reading on the City Utilities Committee’s Sept. 29 agenda proposes extending the Adamsville Pump Station upgrade contract by 958 days. Final completion would move from Nov. 7, 2026, to June 22, 2029; the agenda listing does not approve the change order.

The ordinance attributes the delay to pump-sizing and electrical-voltage decisions that slowed procurement and longer lead times for critical equipment, including a generator. The proposed extension with Ruby-Collins/Benchmark Joint Venture would not change the $29,318,282 contract amount. The change order would require further steps before becoming binding.
