Summary

Henderson City Council approved Resolution 24-04 to award H.G. Reynolds Co., Inc. a $6,149,697 contract for the Sandy Creek Basin Fix and Find project to reduce sanitary sewer overflows, funded in part by an NCDEQ $2.5M grant and a $5M zero-percent loan.

The Council considered a construction contract to address inflow and infiltration problems in the Sandy Creek Basin that have contributed to sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs).

City Manager Edward T. Blackmon said the project was put out for bid. Water Resources Director Christy Lipscomb said the work had been bid twice: the first solicitation produced no bidders; a second solicitation produced a single bidder, H.G. Reynolds Co., Inc., and staff negotiated the bid to reach the current contract price. Funding outlined in the minutes includes an NCDEQ grant of $2.5 million and a $5 million zero-percent loan.

Councilmember Ola Thorpe-Cooper moved to approve Resolution 24-04 awarding a $6,149,697 construction contract to H.G. Reynolds Co., Inc.; Councilmember Michael Venable seconded the motion. The minutes record the resolution as "APPROVED unanimously" and list Sara M. Coffey and Garry D. Daeke as absent.

The approval authorizes staff to proceed with the Sandy Creek Basin Fix and Find project under the terms recorded in the resolution. The minutes do not provide a detailed construction schedule in the excerpt.
