BEDFORD – The Bedford Board of Works and Safety met in a special session Thursday afternoon to approve a bid for the flushing system for a 2.5 million gallon tank as part of the Spider Creek Lift Station project.
The board previously met Monday to open and receive bids for the $19 million project, but had not received a bid for this measure. The city is planning on applying for a Regional Economic Acceleration & Development Initiative (READI) grant cycle and held the bidding process to determine the full price received from the grant.
Bedford Utilities Director Misty Adams reached out to receive bids for the flushing system, to avoid having to re-bid each part of the project. Gabriel Novac & Associates put in a quote for $450,000, and was the only bid received for the system.
The board approved the bid from Gabriel Novac & Associates, subject to the city receiving the remaining documents and the non-inclusive affidavit. Adams plans to have the grant application sent by Monday, August 15th.
