Ramseur accepts engineering services to move $860k lead inventory and $4.9M wastewater grants forward
Summary
The board accepted engineering services from Wooten Company to begin work on a $860,000 lead service inventory and a $4.9 million wastewater system improvement grant after only one RFQ respondent for design work; staff explained the grants and the need to begin design and bidding under grant timelines.
Town staff reported two grant awards: an $860,000 lead service inventory grant and a $4.9 million wastewater system improvement grant. The town issued a request for qualifications; although four firms requested the RFQ, only one firm (Wooten Company / John Gray) submitted a response by the deadline. The board voted to retain Wooten to perform design and grant-administration work so projects can proceed.
Staff noted that design and bidding will be performed under the grant and that, if bids exceed grant funding, project components would be scaled or cut to stay within the award. The board approved moving forward with Wooten to begin necessary design, reporting and procurement steps tied to the grant timelines.
