2 City Council Special Meeting Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 23, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration and Adoption of Resolution Rejecting All Bids for the Regional Sewer Pipeline Project and Authorizing Staff to Initiate Resubmission of Call for Bids with Altered Project Scope
PREPARED BY: Bill Zenoni, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Wheatland City Council consider adoption of a resolution rejecting all bids for the Regional Sewer Pipeline Project and authorizing staff to initiate resubmission of call for bids with an altered project scope.
DISCUSSION:
The Wheatland City Council, on November 25, 2025, adopted Resolution No. 58-25 approving contract documents and authorizing a call for bids for construction of the Wheatland Regional Sewer Pipeline Project. On February 19, 2026, the bid period closed with the City receiving 13 bids for the Project. Per the bid documents, the bids were valid for 90-days after the bid opening (thru May 20, 2026).
On February 13, 2026, the Yuba Water Agency experienced a catastrophic failure of the penstock at the New Colgate Powerhouse. Shortly thereafter, Yuba Water Agency withdrew its intended future financial support for the Project. In response to that action, the City Council, on May 12, 2026, adopted Resolution No. 26-19 authorizing an extension to the 90-day bid expiration date by 35 calendar days, from May 20, 2026 to June 24, 2026,to provide additional time for staff to identify replacement funding for the Project.
While potential additional funding sources have been identified, including loans from Yuba County and the Estom Yumeka Maidu Tribe of the Enterprise Rancheria, it has been determined that an altered project scope will be required for the City to be able to fully fund the Project.
The City Attorney has advised that, in light of a revised project scope, the original bids are to be rejected and the Project rebid. This action will delay award of the construction contract until late July or early August.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of this action is unknown.
