The Town of James Island accepted a competitive bid for replacement of a damaged culvert at Cecil Circle and authorized the town administrator to execute a contract with the low bidder.

Town Engineer Laura Cabanes outlined the procurement: four bids were received with the low bid from Landscape Pavers at $32,765 and the highest at $43,300. Cabanes said staff recommended awarding the work to Landscape Pavers and described the bids as competitive and close.

Council voted by roll call to award the contract to Landscape Pavers. Laura Cabanes noted a potential unknown — a sanitary sewer service line located at the site — and said the town would dig to locate the line before starting work and address any conflict box needs before full road disruption.

Council directed staff to notify the contractor and proceed with scheduling. The motion carried unanimously.
