Council to consider two-year service-installation contract for water/wastewater; proposed contractor named
Summary
Blue Ridge staff presented a two-year as-needed service-installation contract for water and wastewater hookups and named Jeffrey Holloway as the proposed contractor; council said it will vote next week after reviewing the proposal packet.
City staff described a two-year, as-needed service-installation contract for the water and wastewater department intended to streamline meter and fitting installations without separate bids for each small job.
The proposal would allow staff to call an approved contractor for individual meter installations and fittings instead of issuing separate requests for proposals for each job. Staff said the contract imposes no minimum work requirement: the city could use the contractor once a week or not at all, depending on needs.
Council members said the packet was emailed to them and appeared "pretty thick"; one member estimated the difference between the top bid and the next bid at roughly $800,000 to $900,000. Staff named Jeffrey Holloway as the proposed contractor and said the contract could be voted on at the next meeting after council review.
No formal award or vote occurred at the workshop; staff indicated they will present the full contract and supporting materials at the next meeting for council action.
