The City Manager awarded Contract 18-126, Sanitary Manhole Replacement, to Sheridan Plumbing & Sewer, Inc. for a one-year term from July 26, 2018 to December 31, 2018, with two one-year options to extend. The first option year was approved by City Council on February 5, 2019. The purpose of the contract is for removal and replacement of sanitary sewer manholes and associated connections to existing sanitary sewer and services throughout the City. The sanitary manholes being replaced range from 80 to 100 years old and are part of the inflow and infiltration reduction program.
