Update 2022-08-26<\/strong>:\r\n\r\nPacket: Juvenile Justice, Manholes, Tax Appeals Module, Subdivision lighting @ LCC 2022-08-22<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nThe big item involves\r\n\r\nkeeping ahead of sewer system problems<\/a> to avoid sewage spills:\r\n“Lowndes County was awarded a Georgia Environmental Finance Authority\r\n(GEFA) loan for lift station and manhole improvements. Staff identified approximately 100 manholes that\r\nneed rehab and improvements, including structural repairs and coating the interiors. The project was\r\nadvertised and bids accepted for the work. Two bids were received, one from Gulf Coast Underground for\r\n$1,508,450.00 and one from RPI for $439,836.00. Staff recommends approval and authorizes the Chairman to\r\nsign the contract with RPI, Inc. for $439,836.00.”\r\n
