South Charleston council awards pool sandblasting, flooring and HVAC repair contracts

The South Charleston City Council voted to award three maintenance and repair contracts to vendors selected through the finance committee's bidding process.

The finance committee recommended and the council approved awarding W. P. Waters Company a contract to sandblast the concrete pool at Little Creek Golf Course for $32,742.00; funds will come from fiscal 2025 budget line items for Little Creek Golf Course building repairs in the general fund. The committee also recommended awarding Lawson's Floor Coverings $35,595.00 to supply and install 3,500 square feet of luxury vinyl plank and 260 square yards of carpet tile; the work was described as within the golf-course maintenance budget. Finally, the council approved a $40,277.00 award to Simcoe Inc. to repair an air-handler blower assembly at the South Charleston Community Center; the finance committee reported that quotes were solicited from three contractors and only Simcoe returned a quote.

Each recommendation was presented as a finance-committee motion and approved by roll call. City staff confirmed that all items are budgeted in fiscal 2025 general-fund line items covering repairs at the golf course and community center. Council members did not propose amendments to the bids during the meeting and no public comment was recorded on these items.

Council members asked staff to ensure vendors comply with contract specifications and that payments be charged to the specified budget lines. The clerk conducted roll-call votes for the bids that produced affirmative votes recorded by the meeting as unanimous for those present.

The awarded work will proceed under the city's contracting process; staff did not provide completion dates at the meeting.
