Kincaid trustees approve $6,500 E.L. Pruitt bid to repair collapsed sewer line
Summary
At a June 13 special meeting the Village of Kincaid voted to accept a $6,500 bid from E.L. Pruitt to repair a collapsed sewer line between Hickory and Walnut; officials said the repair is under the $25,000 bidding threshold and work could start next week.
Mayor Tony Pezze said trustees voted at a special meeting June 13 to accept a $6,500 bid from E.L. Pruitt to repair a collapsed sewer line between Hickory Street and Walnut. "He is making a recommendation that we take the Pruitt bid at six thousand five hundred dollars, unless there wants to be a discussion. We need to get this done," Pezze said during the meeting.
Pezze told the board the village did not need to re-bid the work because the project falls below the village's statutory or policy threshold for competitive bidding, which he referenced as $25,000 during the discussion. Trustee Nelson moved to accept the Pruitt bid; Trustee Dees seconded the motion and the board voted "all ayes." CJ, who responded about scheduling, said the contractor could start the repair next week.
The collapse was described during the meeting as an existing fractured segment that crumbled when crews used a jet rodder to clean the line; Pezze said the condition had been deteriorating and that prompt work was needed to restore service and prevent further damage. The board did not discuss funding sources in the public record beyond confirming the contract amount.
The motion to accept the E.L. Pruitt bid passed by voice vote with all ayes recorded in the transcript; the meeting minutes do not list individual vote names. The village did not specify an exact start date beyond CJ's comment that work could begin next week. The board adjourned at 6:08 p.m.
