Buckeye Water District Bid Opening

On Thursday morning, October 29, members of the Buckeye Water District Board of Directors opened bids for the Salineville Transmission Line Phase B. The bid opening was held at the St. Clair Township Community Hall in Calcutta. Present was Board President Mike Ryan, Board members Bob Wines, Tim O'Hara, Gene McGaffick, Jack Whitaker, and Cal Carney. District Manager Al DeAngelis, Engineers Dallis Dawson & Jon Blair and Tracy Allen were there too.

Phase B is the continuation of the new water line to Salineville. It will hook up to the line that is currently being installed from the Water Treatment Plant to just past the Southern Local School Complex on Route 39. Phase B will take the line on into the village to supply Salineville residents with the EPA mandated new water source. Engineer's estimate for Phase B was $946, 045.

Low bidder for this part of the project was JCM Contracting of New Springfield, OH at $754,606. Other bids submitted was $827,166 from Tucson Inc,, $834,938 from Rudzik Excavating, $838,845 from Dave Sugar Excavating, $973,959 from James White Construction and $1,020,302 from Marucci & Gaffney Excavating.

L.E.B. Contracting & Wenger Excavating picked up bid packets but failed to submit bids. Dave Sugar Excavating was the winning bidder on Phase A of this project and is presently at work installing that portion. The bids are now being gone over with a fine tooth comb by BWD's engineering company.

The winning bid will be announced at the regular monthly meeting in November. District officials advised funding is in hand and expect Phase B installation to begin around December 1st.

The regular monthly meeting of the BWD Board-of-Directors is scheduled for Thursday, November 19, 9:00 A.M. at Wellsville Village Hall.

Seems you said it. I'm not familiar with Cody but then I don't follow soccer much at all other than to scan over the headlines. It's not a Wellsville sport.

However, I do wish Geer and the Beaver Local Soccer team the best of luck.
