Rio Dell councilmembers approved a major increase to the city’s sewer-planning contract during their Aug. 4 meeting, backing an amendment to the GHD Inc. agreement for the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study.
The council approved the item on the consent calendar, according to the meeting summary and the meeting agenda. The agenda says Amendment No. 2 to the professional services agreement adds $602,396.25, raising the total contract value to $1,088,058.25, and extends completion to Dec. 1, 2027.
The agenda identifies the work as part of the city’s Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study, but the available records do not explain what additional work the added money covers or why the timeline changed.
Because the amendment was approved through the consent calendar, the meeting summary does not indicate any separate council debate on the item. The agenda and summary together show the city moving forward with a larger, longer-running sewer planning contract tied to future utility decisions.
