Mansfield approves $1.19 million low bid for sewer plant and applies for $727,825 GEFA loan
Summary
At its Aug. 12 meeting, the Mansfield City Council unanimously accepted a $1,188,510 low bid from All South Constructors for the Sewer Treatment Plant project and voted to apply for a $727,825 GEFA loan to help fund the work; several routine municipal items also passed.
MANSFIELD — The Mansfield City Council on Aug. 12 unanimously accepted a low bid of $1,188,510 from All South Constructors, Inc. for the city’s Sewer Treatment Plant project and approved applying for a $727,825 loan from GEFA.
Mayor Blair H Northen III presented two bids for the plant: All South Constructors at $1,188,510 and IHC Construction Companies at $1,587,831. Mayor Pro Tem Fred Purvis moved to accept the All South Constructors low bid; Councilman Scott Colyn seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously to approve the award.
The council also voted, on a motion by Purvis and a second from Councilman Brandon Hays, to apply for the second GEFA loan in the amount of $727,825 to help finance the project. The meeting minutes record the application motion and that the council voted all in favor; the minutes do not state a timetable for awarding the contract or for execution of the loan documents.
Why it matters: The accepted low bid and the GEFA application together establish the procurement and initial funding direction for the Sewer Treatment Plant project. The minutes do not include further technical details about the scope of construction, an estimated completion date, or the source of any remaining funds beyond the GEFA amount.
Other council action: The meeting record shows the council approved several routine municipal items by unanimous vote, including accepting a $2,301 bid to install a split AC/heat unit in City Hall; awarding a $2,500 contract to High Voltage Utilities to replace a pole on Railroad; changing City Hall hours from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. to 8 a.m.–4 p.m.; and approving an occupational tax license for Wayne Balckwell to operate a coin-operated laundromat. Jefferson Riley and Walter Tuggle spoke during the citizen comment period, asking the council to re-check paving and re-striping at Sewell and Highway 213 and to clarify tree trimming near power lines, respectively.
What’s next: The minutes show the council approved the bid award and the GEFA application but do not record a date for contract execution, a project schedule, or the next procurement step. The council adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
