Brookhaven board awards Greenbrier $688,155 pump‑station rehab, cites single responsive bid
Summary
The Brookhaven board voted to award control-package and station-rehab work to Greenbrier, citing state purchasing guidance that allows award when only one responsive bid is received; staff said the work stays within the existing ARPA/MCWI budget.
Brookhaven City board members voted to award a contract package for repairs and control‑panel replacements at aging wastewater pump stations to Greenbrier after staff said it was the only responsive bidder and the work fits the city's existing ARPA/MCWI budget.
Mike McKenzie, who presented the procurement details, said the overall MCWI program budget is about $5.6 million and outlined separate bids for Packard and Field Lark Lane pump stations and associated control packages. "The grand total for that was $688,155," McKenzie said, referring to the single‑bid rehab package that included South Church Street in the scope. He told the board the award recommendation follows state purchasing guidance and the city's paperwork review; Horn CPA Group, which manages the MCWI funds, confirmed that an award to a single responsive bidder is permissible if solicitation was broad and time is a factor.
The board discussed the operational urgency—McKenzie said repeated failures at the Packard and Field Lark Lane stations make the work the highest current priority so wastewater can reach the treatment plant for processing. A motion to award the two control‑package quotes to Greenbrier was seconded and approved on voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the open transcript.
Board members asked staff to continue monitoring timing and prioritization at the treatment plant, which McKenzie described as "a 50‑some‑odd‑year‑old plant" that will require ongoing attention. The board did not amend the award amount and staff stated the contracts remain within the previously approved budget for the MCWI project.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract paperwork with Greenbrier and proceed with the rehab work and control‑panel replacements as scheduled, subject to any standard procurement closing items and vendor certifications.
