CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT – MUD CREEK SEWER PROJECT, PHASE 1 – SECTION 2

County Engineer Marcus Jones stated that as recommended by the Project Engineer and staff, the construction contract was provided for Board approval. The proposed contract is for $287,682.00 with Blytheco Construction Co, LLC of Penrose, N.C. The funding for this contract is in place and was included in the financing for the original Mud Creek Project. The Engineer’s construction estimate was approximately $450,000 for this project.

The Mud Creek Phase 1 Section 2 is a part of the overall Mud Creek Project. The purpose of the Mud Creek Phase 1 Section 2 is to upgrade the existing Rockwell Pump Station which currently is operating at near maximum capacity (183,900 GPD). Also, additional flows are expected in the near future. There are two other pump stations that pump to this station. The new pump station will be a 500,000 GPD station.

By State Statutes this project was estimated to be in the formal bid range, and therefore, the Engineer conducted the bid process accordingly. Additionally, the project was advertised in the local newspaper, Times-News, and posted on our County website in an effort to include any local contractors in the formal bid process. One local contractor did request plans, but did not submit a bid. However, the local contractor still may be involved in the project as a sub-contractor.

Commissioner Young made the motion that the Board of Commissioners approve the Mud Creek Sanitary Sewer Project Phase 1 Section 2 construction with Blytheco Construction Co, LLC for $287,682.00. All voted in favor and the motion carried.

Commissioner Williams made the motion to adjourn as the Cane Creek Water & Sewer District Board. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
