Gilmer council awards $693,411 ARPA contract for tank repairs
Summary
The Gilmer City Council on Dec. 10 awarded a $693,411 contract for municipal tank repairs under an ARPA project to J & A Coatings LLC after Hayes Engineering presented the bid evaluation; the vote was 6–0.
The Gilmer City Council unanimously approved a $693,411 contract award for ARPA Project 2024 Tank Repairs and Maintenance to J & A Coatings LLC after Hayes Engineering presented the bid results.
City Engineer Stan Hayes told the council that Hayes Engineering conducted a competitive bid process and recommended J & A Coatings as the lowest and responsive bidder for the tank-repair package. "We received four bids and recommend award to J & A Coatings, LLC for $693,411," Hayes said.
The contract was accepted on a motion by Councilmember Jerry Webb, seconded by Councilmember Marty Jordan; the council recorded a 6–0 vote for approval. The project will be funded through ARPA project allocations identified in the city's capital plan.
Why it matters: repairs to storage and distribution tanks affect water reliability and regulatory compliance; awarding a single large contract begins a construction and inspection timeline that will require coordination between the city, Hayes Engineering and the contractor.
What's next: Hayes indicated the procurement steps are complete and work scheduling will follow; the council did not set additional conditions at the meeting.
