Arcata City Council’s Aug. 5 agenda includes two more spending items tied to the city’s wastewater treatment facilities upgrade project: a $1.5 million additional construction amendment and a separate $240,135 amendment for Carollo Engineers, Inc. for post-construction design and ESDC services.
The agenda packet says the construction amendment is for additional work on the wastewater project, while the Carollo item would extend engineering support on the same effort. Together, the two items add $1,740,135 to the project’s financial footprint, based on the dollar amounts listed in the packet.
The packet does not show final council action on either item in the excerpt reviewed, so it is not clear whether the amendments were approved Aug. 5. It also does not spell out the full construction scope behind the $1.5 million item in the retrieved text.
The wastewater project is one of several major capital items on the Aug. 5 agenda, which also includes a continued emergency procurement finding for failed culverts at 4700 West End Road, an AI policy resolution, and other land-use, housing and public-works items.
