Florence approves sewer project payments, emergency pump repair and valve purchase
Summary
The Florence board approved Pay Request #7 for the Hwy. 49 Eagle Post Road sanitary sewer project, authorized a Phase III contract pending attorney review, approved an emergency pump‑station repair payment of $24,107.93, and purchased a 4" Inserta valve for $6,792.
The Florence board on July 1 approved several infrastructure expenditures tied to the city’s sanitary sewer and water systems.
The board approved Pay Request #7 to Hemphill Construction Company, Inc. for the Hwy. 49 Eagle Post Road Sanitary Sewer Additions Phase II project in the amount of $12,900.20; the minutes record four ayes and one non‑participant (Alderman Mason Herrin) on that vote. On the recommendation of City Engineer Tim Parker, the board also authorized Mayor Trey Gunn to execute a contract with Thornton Construction Company, Inc. for Phase III of the same sewer additions project, pending review of the contract by the city attorney.
The board declared and approved payment of $24,107.93 to Maintenance Systems, Inc. for emergency repairs to the Florence Dogwood Hills Pump Station; the repair was declared an emergency to prevent potential raw sewage leakage in the area. Separately, the city approved the low quote from Eagle Pipe and Supply ($6,792.00) for a 4‑inch Inserta Valve (Hydra Stop), accepted as the lowest of two quotes.
These actions were taken as discrete motions during the regular meeting; contract execution for Phase III is contingent on city‑attorney review of the contract documents, and the emergency payment was recorded as necessary to protect the community from sewage leakage.
