Montgomery authorizes bidding and administration for Town Creek wastewater plant demolition, estimates near $1 million
Summary
Council authorized WGA to prepare bid documents and administer the demolition of the Town Creek wastewater treatment plant, with demolition cost estimates of roughly $900,000 to $1.1 million and a plan that could begin construction in June.
The Montgomery City Council authorized consultant WGA on April 14 to prepare bidding documents and provide construction‑phase services for demolition of the Town Creek wastewater treatment plant.
Staff explained that demolishing the plant ahead of the full wastewater project will increase the pool of available demolition contractors and align demolition timing with later wastewater plant construction. The memo presented to council estimated demolition costs between approximately $900,000 and $1.1 million. Staff summarized the procurement and schedule: prepare bid documents in roughly two weeks, advertise, conduct a pre‑bid meeting, then award and begin demolition with construction anticipated in June and completion of demolition potentially before year’s end.
Council approved the motion to authorize WGA to proceed with demolition bidding and contract administration. Staff said the demolition procurement will comply with state bidding requirements, include materials testing and on‑site inspection, and that the demolition is funded from previously closed certificates of obligation.
Next steps: staff to finalize technical specifications, advertise for bids, conduct procurement per state requirements, and return with contract award for council approval.
