Utility staff gave a short update on the iron filter replacement project, saying the city had hoped to issue bid documents before the end of the year but a vendor encountered design conflicts.

"The hope was originally to have it out the bid before the end of the year, but, unfortunately, American Circuit Point ran into a few design conflicts with the electrical and the controls," Utility staff said; staff later referenced the vendor name as American StructurePoint in the AMI discussion, a discrepancy noted for confirmation. Staff now anticipates putting the iron filter replacement out to bid in early 2026.

What happens next: staff will resolve vendor design issues and return with an updated bid schedule; no formal vote or motion was required at the meeting.
