Approval of Contract for Water Meter Vault Installation
Staff Presenting:
Tracy Bono, City Engineer
Recommendation
- Staff recommends rejecting low bid of Knife River due to being non-responsive and award
the contract for Meter Vault Installation project to the next low bid by 3H.
Summary of Analysis
1.According to state statute, a semi-formal bid process was followed
2.Low bid by Knife River was rejected for being non-responsive for not submitting all required
documents.
3.Based on the following criteria, Staff recommends awarding 3H the contract for Meter Vault
Installation:
a.Next Low Bid
Financial Impact
Will use funds from the Water Department already dedicated to meter vault installation.
Motion
-responsive bid and therefore reject it. Knife
River was given notification both verbally and in writing that their bid was non-responsive and Knife River
was given the opportunity to protest the same either in writing or before the City Council. Knife River has
failed to challenge the finding that their bid was non-responsive either in writing or by presentation before
the City Council. Based on the foregoing, I move to award the bid for the Meter Vault Installation project to
the next low bid which was 3H in the amount of $74,885.00, and authorize the mayor to sign the contract.

Ordinance 635: Pressurized Irrigation Ordinance and
Adoption of Pressurized Irrigation Standards
Staff Presenting:
Micah Austin, City Administrator
Recommendation
-Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 635 and Summary
-As a separate motion, staff recommends adopting the Pressurized Irrigation Standards dated
January 2020

adopted, staff began working towards adoptions of a pressurized irrigation plan.
2.On April 30 and May 7, 2019, the City Clerk published a notice in the Post Register for a Request

6.On March 19 and April 2, 2020, the City Council discussed the proposed Pressurized Irrigation
Ordinance in open session.
7.On April 9, 2020 the City Council discussed the Pressurized Irrigation Ordinance in a work

Ammon City Council 04/14/2020Page 12 of 68
9.On April 16, 2020, the City Council considered the Pressurized Irrigation Standards dated
January 2020 for approval.
10.If adopted, this ordinance would apply to all new subdivisions that are served by the Ammon
Municipal Water Service.
11.Among other things, the ordinance requires that subdivisions either build a pressurized
irrigation system or provide compensatory water rights to the City of Ammon (see section 8-10-
1).
Financial Impact
-The creation of a new utility service to provide pressurized irrigation to Ammon residents will
incur financial obligations. This utility will be an enterprise fund and should be supported
entirely by its own fees. At this time, the City has not contemplated any city-initiated systems
and will rely on new developments to build their own pressurized irrigation system. Fees will be
collected from users on these new systems to support operation and maintenance of the
pressurized irrigation utility.
-After a pressurized irrigation system is built, the City Council will need to adopt user fees to fund
the operations of the utility service. Adoption of these fees will not occur until the system is
nearing completion and staff has calculated the operation and maintenance costs.
Motion
