Collierville board approves consent agenda, sewer master plan update and pump station contract
Summary
At its Aug. 25 meeting the Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved the consent agenda and voted to hire a consultant to update the sewer master plan and to award a contract for a major pump-station rehabilitation; all votes were unanimous as recorded by roll call.
The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Aug. 25 approved the meeting agenda, two sets of minutes, a consent agenda covering items 8(a)–8(t), a professional services agreement to update the town’s sewer master plan, a construction contract for a sewer pump station rehabilitation project, and the purchase of park maintenance equipment.
The board voted unanimously on each item during roll-call votes. Mayor Frasier presided and Miss Diamond conducted roll calls. The professional services agreement authorizes a contract with Canyon Canyon Engineering to update the town’s Sewer Master Plan for $116,640; the FY2026 budget includes $120,000 for the work. The board also awarded a lump-sum construction contract to Consolidated Electrical Services Incorporated for $447,900 for the Sewell Park (pump) station rehabilitation and replacement project. Bids were opened Aug. 6 and the low bid was about $3,532 under the $450,000 budgeted amount.
Board members were told the pump station project is part of a grant-funded initiative started in 2022; staff said the town expects reimbursement of $291,135 following project completion under the stated 35% local-match requirement, leaving the town’s share at approximately $156,765. John Fox, public utilities director, explained the pump station serves the majority of customers south of Poplar Avenue and conveys on average about 1,000,000 gallons per day with a peak capacity noted during the presentation.
The board also approved an agreement with Canyon Canyon Engineering to update the sewer master plan; staff said the existing plan is more than 12 years old, the update will plan for 20 years of growth, and the proposal price is $3,360 under the FY26 allocation. The board approved the purchase of an infield machine and an aerator for parks maintenance through a statewide contract; staff noted the infield machine includes a Topcon GPS system and the aerator’s production date is expected in 2026. All routine minutes and the consent agenda passed by unanimous roll-call votes.
