Century Awards Contracts For Some Future Sewer Repairs
February 2, 2011
The Town of Century has approved contracts with two Gulf Coast firms to perform work beyond the ability of the town’s water and sewer department employees.
The contracts essential put the qualified contractors “on call” to repair system problems as needed. That, according to town engineer Dale Long, will save repair delays for the bidding process since the repair process will be pre-bid.
Contracts were awarded to two low bidders — Pensacola Concrete Construction Company and Slaughter Construction of Gulf Shores. They companies bid on a “menu” of potential services such as emergency repairs, video inspections, replacing manholes, sidewalks and other tasks the town’s employees are unable to perform.
“This is not a project per se, it ‘s more like a laundry list,” Long said.
The contracted services will not cost the town any money until the services are actually used. If a contractor is called, they expect at least $5,000 worth of work, Long said.
