Council awards $731,825 contract to Lone Hickory; approves $15,000 change order for South Main water work
Summary
After staff recommended Lone Hickory Cattle Company LLC as the lone responsive bidder for a BWSRF project, the council awarded the contract and later approved a $15,000 change order for an unrelated DWSRF water system improvement project.
City staff recommended awarding the BWSRF (drinking-water) Notice of Award for the Stonewall Railroad Crossing project to Lone Hickory Cattle Company LLC after only one contractor submitted a bid.
The council voted to accept the low and only bid of $731,825 for BWSRF project No. 8, Stonewall Railroad Crossing. A staff member told council that four contractors had reviewed plans but only one bid was submitted; the presenter noted the company has performed work across the state.
Separately, the council approved Change Order No. 4, authorizing the mayor to sign for Lone Hickory Cattle Company LLC in the amount of $15,000 for DWSRF project No. 12, described as water system improvements on South Main. According to staff, the change order pays for installing a second emergency connection while crews are already working in the area.
Councilor Vote (name unclear in the record) moved to award the $731,825 contract; Councilor Stone seconded and the motion carried on roll call with Councilor Boatwright, Stone, Gilmore, Woodley, Roden, Vice Mayor Beatty and the Mayor voting yes. The change order motion was moved by Councilor Boatwright and seconded by Councilor Roden; roll call recorded support from the same members and the motion carried.
Staff noted the contractor has an established record in the region. No protests or competing bids were recorded at the meeting.
The awarded contract and approved change order are part of the city's ongoing DWSRF/BWSRF-funded infrastructure work; staff will manage execution and report back on project progress.
