Victoria City Council awards $2M sewer improvements contract to Ramrod Utilities LLC

The Victoria City Council meeting on June 3, 2025, focused on key decisions regarding local business regulations and infrastructure improvements.

One of the main discussions centered around the council's approach to business regulations. Council members acknowledged the challenges business owners face when rules do not align with real-world conditions. They emphasized the importance of fostering a supportive environment for local businesses to thrive and grow. The council expressed gratitude for the input from business owners and highlighted the need for regulations that are practical and applicable to the local context.

In addition to the regulatory discussions, the council voted on a significant infrastructure project. They awarded a contract for sanitary sewer improvements on Anthony Road and Hanselman Road to Ramrod Utilities LLC for $2,050,000. This project, part of the city’s 2025 Capital Improvement Plan, aims to address two critical issues: preventing sewer overflow during wet weather and extending sanitary sewer access to previously unserved areas. The council received six proposals for the project and determined that Ramrod Utilities offered the best value, with a construction timeline of 120 days.

The meeting concluded with the approval of the contract, marking a step forward in enhancing the city’s infrastructure and supporting local development. The council's decisions reflect a commitment to balancing regulatory frameworks with the needs of the business community while investing in essential public services.
