CAUD board members vote to accept bonding company offer

Deal lacks only attorneys for bonding company and Board Attorney Marshall Loy to complete paperwork with minor changes. Construction likely to start in a few days - completion expected in 90-120 days after Columbia, KY, contractor Stotts Construction starts project

By Ed Waggener

The Columbia/Adair Utilities District board voted 4-0 with one abstention, to accept the counter offer by the Merchantile Assurety Company to finish the utility's Phase 14 Project, which was abandoned in November by Southern Backhoe of Campbellsville, KY.

Board Member Barry Stotts, whose parents company, Stotts Construction will enter into a contract with the Bonding Company to complete the job, abstained. The vote came on a motion by Member Tim Baker, with a second by Member Rudy Higginbotham, with Chairman Robert FLowers and Member David Jones joining for the 4-0 vote.

The settlement was in the amount of $582,500. The vote was contingent on the District's Attorney and the Bonding Company making minor changes in the contract faxed to Mr. Loy earlier, principally that the contract for the completion work with Stotts Construction would be first with the bonding company. Immediately after that is done and the money is paid, the bonding company will assign the contract to the water district.


Board Member Barry Stotts did not take part in any of the discussion leading up to the decision. But afterward, when asked about a start date, he said, "We're ready to go as soon as the paperwork is done."

He said that the plan would be to first complete the clean up on yards and to get the grass growing again, and then to clean up the "messes" near the Gate Station on Hudson Street and near Five Star on Jamestown Hill.

After that, the water lines on Walker Street, Baker, Mack and Paul and Marshall Streets will be completed.

Stotts said that the work might be completed in as little as 90 days, but likely no more than 120 from the time Stotts Construction begins the work.

Attorney Marshall Loy, Consulting Engineer David Bowles, and CAUD General Manager Lenny Stone and Chairman Robert Flowers all expressed the opinion that Stotts Construction Company would be the best for the job. "They do excellent work," Robert Flowers said.
