Franklin awards multiple utility and street contracts totaling about $440,000
Summary
The commission approved contracts for water/wastewater plant equipment and a sidewalk project: a $118,444.54 valve replacement contract to Wascot Inc., a $62,542.76 contract to JAGS Environmental for transmitters, and a $259,064 award to All Things Construction for the College Street sidewalk project approved after executive session.
The City Commission approved three procurement awards for public‑works projects, including two utility equipment contracts and a street/sidewalk construction award.
Utility equipment contracts
- Filter effluent valve replacement: The city received a single bid and recommended awarding the project to Wascot Incorporated for $118,444.54 (bid 2025‑10). The project was described as maintenance work; city staff said approximately $22,000 of parts would be received in the current fiscal year, with the remainder in the next fiscal year. The commission approved the award.
- Filter and backwash differential pressure transmitter replacement: The city received three bids; staff scored proposals and recommended awarding to JAGS Environmental Inc. for $62,542.76 (bid 2025‑11). Staff said JAGS had previously helped the wastewater plant and provided a thorough proposal. Commissioners noted a wide variance in bidder pricing and said one low bid appeared to omit required components; the commission approved the recommendation by roll call.
Sidewalk construction
- College Street sidewalk: Coming out of executive session, commissioners voted to award the College Street sidewalk project to All Things Construction in the amount of $259,064.
Outcomes and next steps
Motions to award the two utility contracts and the sidewalk project passed by recorded votes during the meeting. Staff will proceed with contract execution and scheduling and will return with any required change orders or timeline updates for the commission’s review.
