Anderson City board takes North Anderson water‑system bids under advisement
Summary
The Anderson City Board of Public Works on Nov. 4 took five bids for Contract A and four bids for Contract C for North Anderson water‑system work under advisement; staff listed multiple bids and noted an engineer's estimate near $7–$7.5 million for Contract A.
At a Nov. 4 meeting, the Anderson City Board of Public Works took under advisement competitive bids for two Phase 1 contracts to repair and replace water mains and service lines in North Anderson.
Staff read five bids for Contract A (North Anderson water‑system improvements) and four bids for Contract C (cross‑street transmission maintenance). Staff identified JG Case Construction at $6,499,177.50 and TSW Utility Solutions at $7,014,995 among the bids for Contract A; other recorded bids included Atlas ($7,335,000) and Bracken Incorporated ($7,126,845). For Contract C, the bids listed included Infrastructure Systems Incorporated ($7,479,206), Atlas ($8,232,000), Barakne/Bracken ($8,303,056) and Coolie Contracting ($10,667,135). The transcript also records one bid amount for Yarberry Companies Incorporated that appears unclear in the record.
Board member (Speaker 2) moved to take the bids for each contract "under advisement" as requested by City Attorney Pozewski and Superintendent McKee; the motions were seconded and approved by voice vote after a brief question about the engineer's estimate for Contract A, which staff said was approximately $7.0–$7.5 million. No contract award was made at the meeting; staff and counsel requested time to review the bids.
The board's action preserves the formal review period before any award. Staff did not provide a recommended award at the meeting and no final tally of votes by individual board members was recorded in the transcript.
