Construction of the flood wall for the Compton Drive Wastewater Treatment Plant was given the green light by the Branson Board of Aldermen at their Tuesday, May 23, meeting.
The Utilities Department submitted to the aldermen a request to have the wall built by KCI Construction Company because they provided the lowest qualifying bid for the project. KCI submitted a bid of $9.962 million, with Branco Enterprises bidding $10.134 million and Emery Sapp & Sons bidding $10.471 million.
“Funds were obtained by grants provided by CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) and EDA (U.S. Economic Development Administration),” Powell said. “We have $13 million total in grant funding available to us for this product and we will spend the near $10 million for construction, and we amended our grant application to be reimbursed for our final engineering costs, which we’ve submitted an amount of just under $500,000.”
