Lanett utilities to seek bids after $4.3 million PHMSA grant award to replace cast-iron gas lines
Summary
Allen Summers told the council the city received a $4.3 million PHMSA grant to replace cast-iron gas pipe; the city will begin the bidding process for the work, the Electric and Gas Department reported.
Allen Summers, head of Lanett’s Electric and Gas Department, told the council on July 21 that the city had received a Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) grant valued at $4.3 million to replace cast-iron gas pipe.
"We had finally gotten to the point where we could start taking bids for the PHMSA grant that was awarded in the amount of 4.3 Million Dollars to replace cast iron pipes," Summers said. He described the update as the step that allows the city to begin soliciting contractors and bids for replacement work.
The meeting minutes record did not specify an exact project timeline, bid schedule, or whether additional local matching funds will be required. Summers’ report indicates the city is moving from grant award toward procurement, but details on contract award timing, scope maps, or affected neighborhoods were not provided in the session.
The council did not take a formal vote on the grant during the meeting; the item appeared as part of departmental updates. Further procurement steps, bid solicitations and any required council approvals are expected to follow the department’s procurement process.
