Buildings and Utility Committee for 11/9/2026

The City of Troy Buildings and Utility Committee met on November 9, 2026, and unanimously recommended that Council authorize a professional services agreement with Hazen and Sawyer, doing business as Hazen and Sawyer, for a sanitary sewer master plan at a cost not to exceed $428,712. The plan will assess system flows and capacity, map the distribution system, and inform a 10-year capital plan and future growth needs. The City had budgeted $250,000 in 2026; staff attributed the higher cost partly to flow monitoring, which accounts for about 40% of the price. The work was selected through a request-for-qualifications process and is expected to take about a year. The plan may also help the City evaluate infrastructure cost-sharing with developers.

The committee also unanimously recommended emergency legislation authorizing a new electric generation supply agreement for City accounts. The existing agreement expires December 31, 2026, and the City seeks to avoid a gap that could require it to pay commercial rates. The procurement is being coordinated through a regional consortium; members discussed a term of about three years. No final Council action or supplier selection was reported in the transcript.
