MARYSVILLE – The Marysville City Council will review bids on two major projects at its 7 p.m. meeting Monday, March 16, at City Hall.

The first involves the Sunnyside Well Treatment Facility. The cost could be up to $4.9 million.

The city wants to build a 6,900-square-foot, two story water treatment plant along 71st Avenue near two city wells. The plant would filtrate minor levels of iron and manganese from the water. The overall goal is for the city to become self-reliant in its water system.

Also on the agenda, the council will consider agreements with two consultants on the project for $210,529 and $75,233.

In 2006, the city did a similar project near the Arlington Airport.

Another key bid will be announced for the State Avenue Corridor Improvement project from 116th to 136th streets NE. That project will widen State from three to five lanes.

The council also will consider:

• Transferring the Marysville library to Sno-Isle.

• Extend the agreement on the North Marysville Regional Pond No. 2 Project.

• Extend the agreement on the BNSF Railroad Grade Separation Study.

• Consider an agreement on auction services.

• Consider an agreement on a gateway sign reimbursement.

• Consider accepting a shoulder improvement program.
