The City of Smithville will soon be extending sewer services to an area annexed into the city limits earlier this year.
A bid opening was held Thursday at city hall on a contract to provide low pressure sewers for the area. Bids were received from three companies, Madewell Construction Inc. of Spencer for $163,825; John T. Hall Construction, Inc. of Sparta for $162,445; and Flo-Line Contracting, LLC of Monticello, Kentucky for $141,650.
J.R. Wauford & Company Consulting Engineers, Inc., the city’s utility engineer, will evaluate the bids to make sure they all meet specifications for the project and will make a recommendation at a meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
The sewer project will serve the six parcels of property and a portion of another parcel which were annexed on the west side of the city earlier this year. The properties were zoned and a plan of services was adopted for the area, in accordance with state law which establishes a timeframe within which city services and/or amenities are to be provided.
