QUINCY, MI (WTVB) – The Quincy Village Council is scheduled to award a low bid of over $1,280,000 Tuesday night for a major water line renovation project.
Hoffman Brothers of Battle Creek submitted the low bid for the project which will consist of replacing 123 year old four inch water mains with 3,100 feet of 12 and eight inch water mains. There will also be associated roadway work and the South Main Lift Station will also be replaced.
It’s believed the four inch mains have shrunk to two inches or less.
Four bids were submitted on March 9, 2017 for the project, which is being made possible thanks to a $1 million Michigan Economic Development Corporation grant that was awarded to Quincy last September.
Quincy was one of 40 applicants for the $8 million that was available.
The local match for the grant is 10 percent and the money has to be spent by December 2017.
