Madera City Council Meeting: November 19, 2025

The City of Madera held a City Council meeting on November 19, 2025, which included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. Key procurement actions included the approval of a purchase agreement for a Boise Mobile Equipment (BME) Type 6 custom fire engine under the Houston Galveston Area Council purchase contract FS12-23. The fire chief detailed the need to replace a 19-year-old fire engine with a new 2026 model, with an estimated additional $100,000 required later to fully outfit the unit. The council approved this purchase to maintain fleet consistency and improve fire suppression capabilities. Additionally, the council approved Amendment Number One to the agreement with Stantech Consulting Services, Inc. for $160,000 to design a new wet well at the wastewater treatment plant. This design work is part of a larger $8.7 million headworks project, with the wet well replacement estimated at approximately $1.5 million. The new wet well is planned to meet seismic standards and accommodate future capacity growth to 10.1 million gallons per day, supporting the city's long-term infrastructure needs. Other agenda items included updates to the Airport Advisory Commission rules of procedure and various community recognitions, but no further procurement actions were taken. The meeting concluded with scheduling the next council meeting for December 3, 2025.
