At Village Hall this past Friday, August 7, the Board-of-Trustees of the BWD opened bids for the Salineville Transmission Line Phase A. A while back the Village of Salineville & the BWD entered into an agreement for the district to supply water to those residents.
Eventually that water will be supplied from the new facilities of the BWD's that went on-line earlier this year. Salineville is currently still being supplied water using their reservoir and water treatment plant which is operated by BWD. Like Wellsville back in the 70s Salineville was faced with costly EPA mandated upgrades or find a new source of water.
The first phase to supply Salineville is to install approximately 40,000 feet of water line from the new Water Treatment Plant across country & out Rt. 39 to somewhere around Southern Local High School. A total of 16 bid packets were picked-up and there were 11 contractors that submitted bids. District officials said that the ones that picked up the packets and didn't submit bids were probably vendors that needed the specifications to supply some of those contractors.
Of those 11 submitted bids the average bid was $3.4 million. Low bid was submitted from the Dave Sugar Excavating Company at $2.7 million. High bid was from L.E.B. Contracting from East Palestine at $4.3 million. Dave Sugar Excavating is located in New Middletown, OH. The BWD's engineering firm estimated the cost for Phase A to be $3.4 million. Second lowest bid was $2.98 million from Wenger Excavating of Dalton, OH.
Engineers from Dallis-Dawson will now go over each of the bids to authenticate them against the specifications. When that is completed the winning package will be sent to the Ohio EPA for their approval. BWD Trustee Chuck Bibbee advised that they may be ready to announce the winning bid at the regularly scheduled meeting in September.
The next regularly scheduled meeting is Thursday, August 20, at 9 A.M. at Village Hall.
