<br /> The Board considered bids for the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project at OT Sloan Park @
<br /> Atlantic & Western Railroad. General Services Director Russell Spivey stated bids were opened on
<br /> September 30th for the above referenced project. He also gave the Board a brief history over the past
<br /> 10-years concerning the sewer line. The issue is at the railroad tracks and approval had to be given by
<br /> the railroad authority before the project could be undertaken since it is a railroad right-of-way project.
<br /> Engineer Jeremy Thomas (J. Thomas Engineering, Inc.) stated three (3) bids were received from the
<br /> following vendors:
<br /> 1. ELJ, Inc., Jacksonville, NC $ 52,825.00
<br /> 2. Sandhills Contractors, Inc. $ 69,413.61
<br /> 3. Eberhart Construction Co., Inc. $182,820.00
<br /> Note: Bid from Eberhart was rejected due to an error provided on the Bid Form.
<br /> Mr. Thomas stated he had contacted three references for ELJ, Inc. and everyone he spoke with had
<br /> been satisfied with their work. It was noted that once the project is complete the line will be turned over
<br /> to the City of Sanford and tied into their sewer line. The City will pick up the annual $650.00 fee once
<br /> the project has been completed. It was recommended by Mr. Thomas and Mr. Spivey that the bid be
<br /> awarded to ELJ, Inc. in the amount of $52,825.00 for said project. After discussion, Commissioner
<br /> Reives moved to award the bid to ELJ, Inc., Jacksonville, North Carolina, in the amount of $52,825.00
