Ocilla will advertise sprayfield maintenance, seek five-year lease bids
Summary
After the contractor stopped maintaining the sprayfield, the council authorized advertising for maintenance contracts that will include a five-year lease requirement and set the bid opening for April 5, 2022.
Ocilla officials told the council the person who had been maintaining the municipal sprayfield is no longer doing so. City Attorney Warren Mixon advised that the task should be publicly advertised and that bidders be prepared to accept a five-year lease term. Councilman Lemora Moses moved to advertise the maintenance contract; the motion passed unanimously.
Attorney Mixon said he will place the advertisement in the paper and that bids will be opened at the April 5, 2022 council meeting. The council did not discuss specific maintenance scopes, budgets or preferred vendors on the record.
Why it matters: the sprayfield provides a municipal service or infrastructure function; the council chose a competitive procurement process and specified a multi-year lease for potential bidders.
What’s next: city staff will publish the notice and present bids at the April 5 meeting for council consideration.
