Commission backs $5.66 million sewer‑pipe rehabilitation contract using ARPA water funds
Summary
Shelby County’s public‑works committee approved a $5.66 million contract with Inliner Solutions LLC to rehabilitate roughly 22,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe and related manholes using ARPA water‑infrastructure grant funds and a 15% stormwater fund match.
The Public Works Committee approved a construction contract with Inliner Solutions LLC for rehabilitation of the county’s sanitary sewer collection system, a project funded through the American Rescue Plan’s water infrastructure program.
Chris Mason, Shelby County Engineering, said the project covers approximately 22,000 linear feet of sewer pipe and 900 vertical feet of manholes to reduce inflow and infiltration that can cause surcharging and overflows. The contract award is $5,144,288 with an extra work allowance of $514,430 for a total authorization of $5,658,718; the FY2026 appropriation includes $4,809,910.30 in ARPA water infrastructure funds and a stormwater special‑revenue match of $848,807.70 (15%). Construction contracts for this grant must be executed by Aug. 31, 2025. The committee voted 6–0 to forward the item with a favorable recommendation.
Why it matters: repairing sewer infrastructure reduces public‑health risks and mitigates costly sanitary overflows into stormwater systems. The project uses a federal ARPA grant and local match funds and must meet federal execution deadlines.
