Prattville sets bid opening for College Heights road, sewer upgrades
Prattville opened bids for College Heights sewer and road work backed by a $500,000 grant, moving a long-planned District 2 project closer to construction.
Prattville publicly opened sealed bids Tuesday for College Heights road and sewer upgrades, a project funded by a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant and aimed at improving day-to-day conditions in District 2.
The work is designed to rehabilitate about 264 linear feet of sewer manhole linings at 33 manholes and resurface about 1.65 miles of roadway in the College Heights area. For nearby homeowners and drivers, that points to fixes for aging sewer infrastructure and worn pavement that can affect drainage, travel, and utility reliability if the project moves forward.
City records showed the bid opening was held at City Hall, 101 West Main Street, where sealed bids were due by 9:00 a.m. and then opened and read aloud. The project is identified as CDBG Project No. LR-CM-PF-25-002 and Bid No. 026-004, giving the job a formal public procurement trail that lets the city compare pricing, timing, and contractor qualifications before any construction begins.
Prattville had already signaled the scope of the work on February 13, when it announced the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs grant for College Heights sanitary sewer and roadway improvements. The city tied the money to public infrastructure in District 2, placing the project within the broader effort to keep roads and utility systems in shape rather than treating it as a one-block repair.
The bid notice also set a non-mandatory virtual pre-bid meeting for June 30 at 9:00 a.m. Interested bidders were instructed to contact Lane Chatham at lane@civilse.com by 5:00 p.m. on June 29 for meeting instructions. That step gave contractors a chance to review expectations before submitting numbers for the job.
Prattville’s Engineering Department says it reviews consultant-prepared plans for roadway, drainage, sanitary sewer improvements and other critical infrastructure, while the Public Works Department says it is responsible for maintaining the city’s physical assets, including roads. Together, those roles put College Heights squarely inside the city’s core maintenance and improvement work as Prattville moves from grant award to contractor selection and, if all goes as planned, toward construction.
