The 30-second brief
11 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Fertile's meetings, most in equipment and transportation. The latest, from Sep 14: Public Works Director Kevin Nephew reported that the new lift station pump had been ordered and would take six to 12 weeks to arrive. Electric Pump had already serviced the failed pump, and when the new unit is installed the other pump will be pulled for service while the loaner stays in place. This is a small but concrete equipment replacement and maintenance signal.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Grants.
