Council approves bid to renovate restrooms at Spartanburg Passenger Center
Summary
Council awarded a bid to renovate restrooms at the Spartanburg Passenger Center; staff said bids were within expected range and the winning contractor was vetted by facilities.
The Spartanburg City Council on May 12 approved a bid to renovate restroom facilities at the Spartanburg Passenger Center downtown.
City staff said the passenger center, constructed in 2003, needs upgrades, with the restrooms identified as a priority. Facilities staff vetted the low bidder and recommended award after a public bid process.
A city staff presenter told council that bids came in “within range of what we were thinking,” and that facilities vetted the selected contractor and believed it could complete the work to the city’s standards. Council asked whether there was prior experience with the winning bidder; staff replied they had not worked with that contractor previously but had vetted the firm.
During the item, council members asked whether additional renovation work beyond the restrooms was planned; staff said no other work was planned at this time but that the city would evaluate future needs and how the facility will be used. Council approved the motion to accept the low bid. The chair announced “Ayes have it.”
The record did not include the awarded contractor’s company name in regularized spelling, the exact bid amount, or a schedule for completion. Staff said the project had been in planning and credited several staff members for preparing the plan. The approval authorizes the city to move forward with contracting and facilities will coordinate oversight.
