Bloomington utilities board awards $97,900 contract for Dillman plant structural repairs
Summary
The Utility Services Board approved a $97,900 public works contract with Structural System Repair Group for structural repairs at the Dillman Wastewater Treatment Plant, below an engineering estimate of $102,700. Work includes concrete repair, joint rehabilitation and sealing to prevent water intrusion.
The City of Bloomington Utility Services Board on Jan. 12 approved resolution 2026-01 and a related public works contract to pay Structural System Repair Group (SSRG) $97,900 to perform structural repairs at the Dillman Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Dan Hudson, capital projects manager for City of Bloomington Utilities, told the board the city sent three bids and received two responses and that "we found that the lowest, most responsive or responsible bidder was a company called Structural System Repair Group, SSRG, for 97,900." He said the engineering estimate for the work was $102,700, and the low bid came in under that estimate.
Hudson described the scope as restoring the integrity of chlorine contact basins and associated structures, including urethane grouting and injection, concrete spall and rebar repairs, joint rehabilitation and sealing leaks at wall penetrations to eliminate water intrusion and extend service life.
The board voted to approve the resolution and then voted to accept the public works agreement with SSRG. There was no recorded opposition during the meeting.
The board heard that the basins are above-ground tanks with multiple spots where water is penetrating the structure, and staff characterized the work as necessary to prevent corrosion of reinforcing steel and extend service life of critical plant infrastructure.
The contract award follows standard bidding procedures presented at the meeting; staff said they will proceed to contract execution and project scheduling under the terms approved by the board.
