Lewiston City Council Meeting - 11/9/2026

The November 9, 2026, Lewiston City Council meeting included two procurement- and infrastructure-related actions. The Council unanimously approved a progressive design-build agreement with T. Bailey Inc., not to exceed $578,817.64, for phase-one design services for replacement of the Low Reservoir and improvements to the South High Reservoir, and authorized the mayor to sign. The design work will develop a buildable project within available funding; staff said approximately $4 million is available for the reservoir work, while the City faces substantial deferred water-system needs and rising construction costs. Staff also identified a separate water transmission line project estimated at $16–20 million and said grants and other outside funding will be necessary. No construction award was made for the reservoirs at this meeting.

The Council also approved Resolution 2026-63, vacating part of the stormwater easement at Rogers Motors, and Resolution 2026-64, accepting a replacement easement from the company; staff reported no infrastructure relocation cost from the easement actions, apart from public-hearing notice costs. Other business included a zoning ordinance and scheduling a December 7 work-session presentation on the Twin City Foods property. No other contract awards or purchasing decisions were identified.
