Explanation
§ This project provides for the replacement of essential parts of the Ashe Plantation Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in the Town of Mint Hill (adjacent to Council District 5), to ensure reliable service.
§ On May 15, 2019, the city issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB); two bids were received.
- G.S. 143-132 prohibits municipalities from awarding construction contracts over $500,000 without receiving at least three competitive bids from the initial advertisement of the contract. The city may subsequently award the contract even if re-advertisements result in fewer than three competitive bids.
§ On June 13, 2019, the ITB was re-issued; three bids were received.
§ Basinger Contracting Company was selected as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
§ Private developer agreements and appropriations are needed when a developer is required to make infrastructure improvements that will be constructed by the city.
§ The $270,270 in private developer funding is for the influent pump station and associated electrical components, process piping, and other appurtenances. Any funding contributed by the developer for the portion of the upgrades project that is unused by the city will be refunded back to the developer after project completion.
§ The project is anticipated to be complete by the first quarter of 2020.
