Dyersburg board approves sewer relocation, community‑center roof repairs and other bids
Summary
The Dyersburg Board approved five procurement actions May 4, including a TDOT‑reimbursed sewer relocation on South Main, emergency repairs to the future city gym, a $65,260.20 roof replacement at the Bruce Community Center and contracts for police renovations and new dumpster boxes.
The Dyersburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved multiple city contracts during its May 4 meeting, moving forward on infrastructure and facility repairs that the city said will be covered, in part, by outside funding.
Mayor Perkin summarized five bid items presented by city staff and said the sewer relocation on South Main — work required to accommodate an upcoming Tennessee Department of Transportation bridge project — will be reimbursed by TDOT. "This is not money spent by us. TDOT's reimbursing us for this," Mayor Perkin said.
The board approved the low bid for the South Main sewer relocation after a motion from Dennis Moody and a second from Joey Harrison. Council members voted in favor; no recorded roll‑call tally was provided in the meeting transcript.
The board also approved $17,774 in emergency repairs to address ice damage to gutters and a canopy at the future city gym and awarded that work to Universal Contractors LLC. Ricky Hammond made the motion and Coach Cole seconded it; the motion passed.
For the Bruce Community Center, aldermen approved roof and kitchen repairs to address a collapse caused by ice and snow in January. The board awarded the work to Servpro of Dyersburg/Union City for $65,260.20 and noted that an insurance claim has been filed to recover amounts above the city’s deductible. Rick Crawford moved the measure; Joy Harrison seconded it and the motion carried.
Staff reported that a VSAF grant will fund soundproofing of interrogation rooms at the police department at 1365 Morgan Road; the low bidder was Tony Demet Construction for the renovation. The solid waste department was authorized to replace eight‑yard dumpster boxes with vendor Waste Quip LLC for $11,987; those items were budgeted and did not require competitive bids.
The board’s actions were procedural approvals to award contracts and seek reimbursement or insurance recovery where applicable. No item was tabled or defeated; the meeting transcript records votes as "aye" rather than as a roll‑call count.
What’s next: Staff will proceed with contract execution and follow up on reimbursement and insurance claims as appropriate.
