A pair of contracts were amended for the Water Resource Recovery Facility, the largest wastewater treatment facility in the U.S. One extended the time for a rehabilitation of the front entrance, and the other increased the funding for fire suppression system maintenance.

Sorry, folks, the Zoom link wasn't working for a minute. After some technical difficulties, the Zoom link worked, and we're in the meeting
They seem to be discussing a contract, but I'm not sure which one
A motion was called on item 2024-250, which is a contract for Gasoline and Diesel Fuel for GLWA O&M. It passed unanimously
The agenda can be found here detroit.documenters.org/documents/agen…

Moving quickly, the next item is a 229 day extension of a contract for rehabbing the front entrance of the Water Resource Recovery Facility. Also passed unanimously

Next up is a contract for maintaining equipment (fire alarms, fire extinguishers). Navid Mehram said GLWA basically ran out of. Money for this maintenance and need more money
Mehram (COO-Wastewater Operating Services) got some questions from a board member about keeping on top of maintenance going forward, suggesting they hold the company contracted (Johnson Controls Fire Protection) "feet to the fire".
