Board approves state loan for Rigelwood waterline project and accepts low bid for Lebanon Church Road waterline extension
Summary
Commissioners approved a $2.57 million state revolving fund loan offer for the Rigelwood waterline replacement and also approved a low bid of about $8.43 million for a waterline extension associated with Lebanon Church Road (Water & Sewer District 5).
The Columbus County Board of Commissioners approved two major water and sewer actions: acceptance of a state revolving-fund loan offer for the Rigelwood waterline replacement and approval of the low construction bid for the Lebanon Church Road waterline extension in Water and Sewer District 5.
Public Utility Director Harold Nobles presented a state revolving-fund repayable loan offer of $2,574,639 for the Rigelwood waterline replacement project; Commissioner Byrd moved to approve the funding offer and Commissioner Bullard seconded the motion, which passed by voice vote.
Nobles also requested approval of the low bid for Temple Grading (bid amount cited as $8,433,893) for the Lebanon Church Road waterline extension and associated services in Water and Sewer District 5. Commissioners approved the low bid by motion and second; the vote passed by voice vote. Nobles reported the bids and loan awards are consistent with project planning and budgeted capital projects for the district.
The approvals were made during a combined meeting of the Columbus County Board of Commissioners and the Water and Sewer District boards. Commissioners did not identify additional local funding or match requirements in the discussion recorded at the meeting; staff will proceed with contract execution consistent with procurement rules and the state loan terms.
