Summary
At its March 10 meeting the Anderson City Board of Public Works set bid dates for the Edgewood Plaza sewer project and water-treatment chemicals, approved a $4.2 million professional services agreement funded by an SRF loan, approved a contract addendum tied to a $930,000 Community Crossings grant, accepted a conflict disclosure for a fire‑department employee and approved claims totaling $3,639,490.32.
Anderson City — The Anderson City Board of Public Works on March 10 set a March 31, 2026 bid date for the Edgewood Plaza sewer improvement project, approved an addendum splitting the city’s 2026 paving contract to meet grant requirements, authorized a $4.2 million professional services agreement paid from an SRF loan, accepted a conflict‑of‑interest disclosure for a fire‑department employee and approved claims totaling $3,639,490.32.
The meeting opened at 1:30 p.m., and the board approved the minutes before addressing new business. The City Engineer told the board the Edgewood Plaza project includes both a storm line and a sewer line and requested the March 31 bid date; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
The city engineer also presented an addendum to split the paving contract into two separate contracts — one exclusively for Community Crossings projects — to satisfy conditions of a grant the city said it was notified about on March 3. The engineer said the Community Crossings amount is $930,000 but noted in discussion that the grant was not yet finalized; the board approved the addendum.
The water department requested approval of a professional services agreement with the firm named in the transcript as “Fle Vandenbring” to provide contract administration and resident project representative services for Contracts A through E under a 2025 master services agreement. The total cost presented for that task order was $4,200,000, with funds to come from the SRF loan package for these projects. The board approved the contract.
Representatives from water pollution control asked the board to set March 17, 2026 as the bid date for one‑year contracts for the treatment chemicals sodium bisulfite and sodium hypochlorite; both bid dates were approved.
City Attorney Pleski presented an annual uniform conflict‑of‑interest disclosure for Donald Key. The attorney reported that Key works for the fire department and also operates a demolition company; the board moved to accept the filing and approved it.
The board also approved claims submitted by Miss Johnson. The total claims amount read into the record was $3,639,490.32; the board approved the claims by voice vote.
No formal votes were recorded against any of the motions; all actions were approved by the board as presented. The meeting moved on after routine approvals.
What happens next: With the bid dates set, staff will proceed with formal solicitation for the Edgewood Plaza sewer project and the one‑year chemical contracts; the SRF‑funded task order will proceed per the professional services agreement and the city will follow up on final grant confirmation for the Community Crossings funds.
