In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the awarding of contracts for the construction of new influent and effluent lines at a wastewater treatment plant. Sullivan's Engineering recommended awarding the contract for the influent line to JAG, which received unanimous support from council members.

However, complications arose regarding the effluent line contract. JAG submitted their bid based on specific pipe specifications, but an addendum issued by Sullivan's Engineering altered those requirements. The addendum, which detailed the necessary pipe type and thickness, was acknowledged by JAG in their bid. Unfortunately, Pioneer Supply, a key supplier, failed to receive the addendum due to a significant internet outage that affected their email system for five days.

This situation raises concerns about the bidding process and the potential implications for project timelines and costs. Council members are expected to further discuss these issues as they move forward with the project.
