Museum Addresses City Council During Regular Meeting BY WILL MCCLURE The Stamford City Council held its regular meeting last Monday evening, December 18th, to hear a presentation from the Cowboy Country Museum as well as an update on water contract bids from Enprotech. Mayor Johnny Anders called the meeting to order at 5:15 pm with all members present and asked Councilmember Ken Roberson to lead the invocation. After the Pledge of Allegiance, Anders opened the meeting to citizen’s comments. With there being none that evening, the meeting moved forward
with the approval of the minutes of the special called meeting and subsequent addendum from December 4th. Once this was complete, Anders turned the meeting over to Scott Hay of Enprotec to present and award a construction contract for the city’s new raw water pipeline from Lake Stamford to the water treatment plant. Hay began his presentation by informing the council that 12 bids were received during the bid meeting held at City Hall last month. The bids placed involved two different pipe materials and were split into a base
bid for polyvinylchloride (PVC) and an alternative bid for the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. Of the bids placed, the lowest for the PVC base pipe bid was given by MH Civil Constructors, Inc. of Amarillo, TX with a bid of $5,512,000 while the alternative HDPE bid was given by Nelson Lewis, Inc. of Marble Falls, TX in the amount of $5,878,280. SEE COUNCIL, PG 6
Scott Hay of Enprotec addressed the Stamford City Council Monday evening about awarding the bid for construction of the raw water line from Lake Stamford to the water treatment plant to MH Civil Construction, which will lay down a new PVC pipe at a lower projected cost to the project’s budget.
