Decatur council authorizes Raymar Construction packages for water‑treatment expansion
Summary
Council approved the purchase of pilot electrical and chemical packages from Raymar Construction for Phase 1 of the city’s water treatment plant expansion, a project intended to increase capacity from 3 million to 6 million gallons per day.
The council approved contracting for pilot electrical and chemical packages from Raymar Construction to support Phase 1 of Decatur’s water treatment plant expansion.
City staff explained the multi‑phase project aims to increase plant capacity from 3,000,000 gallons per day to 6,000,000 gpd. The items in the packet covered electrical and chemical pilot units; staff said the purchases will be paid from bond funds already secured for the expansion.
"This one specifically addresses one of the chemical processes that we just unintentionally left out of the packet," a staff member said, explaining the item’s inclusion. Council approved the motion to award the packages and authorized the city manager to execute related documents.
Staff said these purchases are early deliverables in a longer program of upgrades and that future contract approvals will follow as the expansion proceeds through design and procurement phases.
