ANDERSON — The Board of Public Works on Tuesday signed a final contract with Indianapolis-based Shook Construction for $8,249,000 to make facility improvements to the Water Pollution Control department for Phase I of its long-term control plan. The plan is in place to fulfill a federal consent decree that requires updates to the facility and a reduction in the annual number of combined sewer overflow events.
Water Pollution Control Superintendent Nara Manor said Shook’s was the lowest bid, and all State Revolving Fund funding is in place to begin construction on the project as soon as possible. Shook Construction is expected to use some local subcontractors and vendors.
Also at the meeting, the board approved the 2010 holiday schedule that gives city employees 16 paid holidays and two personal days. The board awarded a contract to build curbs and sidewalks along West 11th Street to Partners in Concrete and received bids for curbs and sidewalks along Fourth Street.
The board also approved an $1,100 contract to set the right-of-way property lines along West 73rd Street and Accelerator Drive, and awarded a contract for $48,288 to Mel Sylvester Construction for the rehabilitation of a property at 1048 Sycamore St. under the Community Development Department’s Neighborhood Stabilization Project.
Finally, the board received one quote from National City bank for a $1.5 million, 10-year loan at a 4.4 percent interest rate for the White River levee construction project.
