Whiteville officials review engineering contract for Lee and Franklin Street sewer project
Summary
Officials reviewed an engineering services contract to begin design, surveying and bidding for the Lee and Franklin Street Sewer Project; staff said engineering fees are "a little over $900,000" as part of a roughly $6,000,000 project and asked counsel to be authorized to accept service if needed. No vote was recorded in the transcript.
Whiteville officials discussed a proposed engineering contract to start design and bidding for the Lee and Franklin Street Sewer Project.
A staff member told the meeting that the contract in the packet would cover design work, surveying, project administration, construction-related tasks and bidding assistance for the city. "We're a little over $900,000 for that," the staff member said, adding that the engineering work is part of an overall $6,000,000 project.
A committee member asked that the city attorney be authorized to accept service if necessary in connection with the matter. The transcript records the request but does not record a motion or vote on the authorization or on the engineering contract itself.
The discussion framed the item as an early step to "start the ball rolling" on project submittals and procurement; staff said more detailed design submittals and bidding assistance would follow if the contract proceeded. The transcript does not include a final decision or timeline for formal approval.
Officials also connected the item to broader budget planning later in the meeting, noting staff intends to pursue longer-term budgeting for multi-year projects.
