Construction, LLC to include a base bid of 3.39 million and an $2.66 million allowance for rock bore, clearing, and blast/hammer rock. This project consists of approximately 12.7 miles of 12-inch high-pressure steel distribution gas main to be laid from the city gate station on Highway 81 in Walnut Grove to an existing 12-inch main near Highway 20 at Hoke O’Kelly Mill Road.
Additionally, the council awarded $159,225 to JAN X-Ray Services, Inc. to X-ray 20 percent of the project. This service will examine the welds done by the general contractor to ensure there are no leaks in the pipeline.
