Kalispell City Council weighs hiring firm for water system engineering services

Kalispell City Council will consider contracting with engineering firm AE2S to provide the municipality with water system engineering services Monday.

The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at City Hall, 201 First Ave. E. The meeting can also be attended virtually via Zoom.

The city is seeking a company to design, develop and maintain a software system to control and analyze its public water system. The contract includes on-call system updates and maintenance as needed.

According to a report by the city manager’s office, AE2S was the only company that submitted a statement of qualifications for the contract. Public works staff has recommended that council award the project to the North Dakota-based firm, which specializes in water systems and other civil engineering projects.

The public is encouraged to submit questions or comments via email before the meeting at publiccomment@kalispell.com, or attend the meeting to comment in person.
