Town of Hertford council accepts Enviro‑Tech bids for storm-drain repairs
Summary
The Town of Hertford council voted March 5, 2022 to award storm-drain repair work on Woodland Circle and Williams Drive to Enviro‑Tech Unlimited Construction after finding that Enviro‑Tech’s bids were more specific and responsive than a lower-cost alternative, council minutes show.
The Council of the Town of Hertford on March 5 awarded contracts to Enviro‑Tech Unlimited Construction to repair storm drains on Woodland Circle ($22,150.00) and Williams Drive ($19,445.20), according to town minutes from the special call meeting.
Interim Town Manager Janice McKenzie Cole presented two bids for the work and told the council the Enviro‑Tech proposals were detailed and spelled out what the price covered. By contrast, she said, the B.E. Singleton & Sons, Inc. submittal was not detailed and appeared to cover only piping repairs rather than full storm-drain replacement or the full scopes the town sought. Based on that assessment, Mayor Pro Tem Ashley Hodges moved to accept Enviro‑Tech’s bids as the lowest responsive and responsible offers; Councilman Jerry Mimlitsch seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
The council had earlier approved changes to the meeting agenda, withdrawing several historical minutes from the consent agenda for separate consideration. Following a brief closed session held under North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(a)(6) to consider the qualifications or performance of an individual public officer or employee, the council returned to open session and approved the amended minutes that had been withdrawn.
Council members present for the special meeting were Mayor Earnell Brown, Mayor Pro Tem Ashley Hodges, Councilwoman Connie Brothers, Councilman Jerry Mimlitsch and Councilmember Sandra Anderson. After the bid award and other business, Councilman Mimlitsch moved to adjourn; Councilwoman Brothers seconded and the meeting ended at about 12:30 p.m.
