Utilities - 211 Water Treatment Plant Lagoon Conversion Project Burnette Enterprises (John Nichols, Director of Public Utilities)

Issue/Action Requested:

Request that the Board of Commissioners award the contract for the construction of the Brunswick County 211 Water Treatment Plant Lagoon Conversion Project to Burnette Enterprises in the amount of eighty-seven thousand five hundred dollars ($87,500.00).  Of the eight (8) bids received at the January 21, 2020, bid opening, Burnette Enterprises was found to be the lowest bid. 

Background/Purpose of Request:

In order to process lime softening residuals at the 211 Water Treatment Plant in a more efficient manner it is necessary to convert one residual lagoon into a residual drying bed.  The current method of handling treatment residuals is a time-consuming and multistep process.  The conversion to a drying bed will remove a step in the current process and allow plant staff to better manage plant residuals.

Fiscal Impact:
Budget Amendment Required, Pre-Audit Certification Required, Reviewed By Director of Fiscal Operations
Budget amendment appropriates $87,500 in expendable net assets for the contract award.
Approved By County Attorney:
