City of Coeur d'Alene - General Services Public Works Meeting - March 9, 2026

The City of Coeur d'Alene General Services Public Works Committee met on March 9, 2026, to discuss several procurement and operational matters. The committee approved declaring various used equipment and vehicles as surplus and authorized their sale at auction. They also approved a sale agreement to sell a 2004 Ford video van to the City of Spirit Lake for $10,000. Additionally, the committee approved an alcohol policy for the JW House event facility. The key procurement action was the award of a construction contract to Big Sky Idaho Corporation for the Mill River lift station upgrades, part of the city's wastewater collection system capital improvement projects. The contract award was based on competitive bids, with Big Sky Idaho submitting the lowest bid. The total project cost, including engineering, is $1.2 million, exceeding the current fiscal year's budget of $900,000, and a budget amendment will be requested later in the year to cover the difference. The committee approved the contract award with an amount not to exceed $884,370.
