Public Works committee awards Milton Howell Phillips water-main replacement contract to RLC Enterprises
Summary
The Public Works and Mobility Committee awarded a construction contract to RLC Enterprises for the Milton Howell Phillips water-main replacement, approving the contract by voice vote and listing the project budget and funding source.
The Public Works and Mobility Committee voted to award a contract to RLC Enterprises for the Milton Howell Phillips water-main replacement project. The committee approved the contract by voice vote after staff recommended awarding the bid to RLC Enterprises at a price not to exceed $1,162,587.73.
City staff presenter Christopher Hoops told the committee that three contractors submitted bids on Feb. 5, 2025, and that RLC Enterprises’ bid was within 1% of the engineer’s probable cost. “RLC Enterprises bid was within 1% of the engineers estimated probable cost, meaning that this project's on budget,” Hoops said. He said the project will be funded from the modern enterprise fund via a state revolving loan.
The committee did not receive public comment on the item. Council member Amber Shallow made the recommended motion; the second was not recorded on the transcript. The motion passed on a voice vote; no opposing votes were recorded and the item was placed on the consent agenda.
Project scope details given in the meeting were limited to the contract award, bid competitiveness, the recommended award amount and the funding source. No start date, completion schedule, or change-order contingencies were specified in the discussion recorded in the transcript.
The contract award will appear on the committee’s consent agenda for the next full council meeting; no additional conditions or amendments were discussed during the committee meeting.
