UPDATE 2/26/2016 - Pleasant Hill Public Service District (PSD) held a bid opening for the PSD's Leaf Bank, Upper Back Fork and Leading Creek Water Extension Project.
The PSD received five bids from various companies based in both West Virginia and Ohio.
Litman Excavating, Inc. of New Martinsville, WV submitted the lowest bid of $1,167,847.65.
The construction contract is scheduled to be awarded to Litman Excavating on Wednesday, March 9, 2016.
This project will provide public water service to approximately 40 homes in northern Calhoun County.
USDA is going to allow Pleasant Hill PSD to replace meters throughout the system, install a bulk water station at the PSD office, and purchase much needed equipment with the excess funds, according to the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Council.
"I should also point out that the replacement of deficient water main along Rt. 16 between Five Forks and Big Springs was an additive alternate in the bidding process that will be included in the construction contract since the base bid came in well under budget," said Tim Meeks of the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Council.
