Summary
Bids opened for the East Kerr County Centerpoint wastewater collection Phase 4 project; one bid from Chromax Construction was read (total reported about $2.66 million) and the court referred the documents to Tetra Tech for evaluation and award recommendation.
The county opened bids Tuesday for Phase 4 of the East Kerr County Centerpoint wastewater-collection project. Bobby Gore told the court plans and specs were approved by the Water Development Board and that bids were advertised and due last Friday.
Project staff read a single three-part bid from Chromax Construction Co.; the total proposal was stated in-court as about $2.66 million. The engineer explained the bid components: part A (bonds/insurance, ROW preparation, SWPPP and small structures), part B (permits and contingency allowances), and part C (materials and unit-price work such as pipes, manholes and laterals). Officials emphasized the package includes demo and service laterals as substantial cost components.
Because bids will require technical review, the court moved and unanimously approved referring the opened bid documents to Tetra Tech for evaluation and award recommendations to be presented at a future meeting.
"This is the last phase," an official said, and commissioners expressed the desire to finish the long-running project.
The court did not award the contract at the meeting; staff said recommendations will return after consultant evaluation.
