Rosalind Carchemmo (procurement) told council the solicitation was published on Feb. 23 with a March 13 deadline — a little more than the 10 days required by state procurement law — and was advertised through the city's newspaper, online procurement and the state business opportunity portal. Carchemmo said staff notified about 47 companies and followed up with those that expressed interest; none submitted a responsive bid. When contacted, several firms cited internal staffing changes, timing or lack of capacity as reasons for not submitting.

Council members asked whether the tanks posed an environmental hazard and whether the project was urgent. City staff and the project manager said the underground tanks are more than 30 years old and at end of life, but there was no immediate environmental emergency; pumps and dispensers were functioning. The project was previously budgeted this fiscal year, with $100,000 allocated. Staff said the recommended price exceeds that budgeted amount and that industry costs (including pump prices) have increased since the original estimate.

Council discussed options including rebidding for a longer solicitation period, but staff warned that delaying to rebid could produce higher prices or still yield no bidders. Staff also said the procurement used the newer OpenGov platform intended to reach more vendors. The transcript includes staff recommendation to award to Environmental Laboratories Inc., but the excerpt does not record a formal motion and vote to finalize the award.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Greer (SC) City Council Meeting: April 8, 2025.","oneSentenceSummary","City procurement staff told the Greer City Council that a recent solicitation for fuel-tank repairs and dispenser replacement received no bids; staff recommended awarding the work to Environmental Laboratories Inc. for $109,857, above the $100,000 budgeted amount.","taxTitle","Greer, Greenville County, South Carolina","taxId",53277,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6610770,"Greer council declares April 9 \"Chef Michael Siebert Day,\" presents key to the city",449,185000,634000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2901787-ed9e12f494309819d32fe6a81afe4afe&start=185&end=634","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2901787-ed9e12f494309819d32fe6a81afe4afe/thumbnail_185000.jpg","/articles/6610770/Greer/Greenville-County/South-Carolina/Greer-council-declares-April-9-Chef-Michael-Siebert-Day-presents-key-to-the-city","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6610770-fab6950e5ac3657e5c62b395193d4a8e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771107632&Signature=dIFyHS272vPc-y0uKX8i7W5CMcGnMrHLa211BhIU7bd~Jt3Ag7oqd3DN0eE8WNnLEoGj~6cQDxGvuhZlpEBiJsfY4~CPSzAhg9gszuytrGF0nKUzIk07MuW~PPOtXQKL4MNnBrATJETFZyw1SOMdw7Oa5BAc8qR~EeOEAV1FWNTaQqdGPadp309P0W05bzoB9oo9up9V~Q0rJpzhcnirQEkfOk3YTR8Y2keprHMYJslfpMz~QPJ00XANkzfrCGUEP7O6aToq~IKObpDMCd1pCOdGPYNYfcPm-OPO206ejRYAyMDnta-C6Pb35D8gM04EooSFpUmf7P8uH7hiJ5VlsQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Danner and the Greer City Council on the evening of the meeting approved a resolution declaring April 9, 2025, “Chef Michael Siebert Day” and presented Siebert a ceremonial key to the city.

The resolution notes that Chef Michael Siebert opened White Wine and Butter in Greer in 2020, expanded to a location at Greer Golf in 2025, served as the 2024 South Carolina chef ambassador and won the Food Network’s Chopped competition in March 2025, frequently identifying Greer as his adopted hometown. Mayor Danner said the council wanted to recognize Siebert and his supporters for bringing attention to the city.

Siebert thanked the audience and council, attributing his success to local supporters. “This is a great honor. Very much appreciated. I couldn't do any of this without my village,” Siebert said, adding thanks to family and staff who worked behind the scenes. Councilmembers applauded as the council read the text of the resolution and presented the framed certificate and a ceremonial key.

The resolution (listed in the meeting as Resolution 7 20 25) becomes effective on approval by the council. The action is ceremonial and does not create a regulatory or budgetary obligation for the city.","Greer City Council on an adopted resolution naming April 9, 2025, Chef Michael Siebert Day and presented him a ceremonial key to recognize his Food Network victory and work promoting Greer.","actionData","errors"]
