The City of Aurora Infrastructure and Technology Committee met on August 24, 2026, to discuss key procurement and budget matters related to city infrastructure projects. The committee approved a $173,000 contract with Strand Associates Inc. for the design of HVAC and building modifications at the city's Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) treatment facility, with an overall project budget estimated at $2 million. The discussion included project priorities, timelines, and the ineligibility of this project for certain grants. Additionally, the committee reviewed a resolution to allocate up to $720,000 for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) for the new Fire Station 4, Fire Administration Headquarters, and Emergency Management Agency (EMA). Presenters detailed the FF&E budget breakdown, procurement methods including cooperative contracts and bids, and noted a 10% contingency to cover potential additional costs. Concerns were raised about budget overruns on related fire station projects and the justification for the contingency amount. The committee passed motions approving both resolutions and requested updated procurement details for further review.
