Fairburn council members Feb. 27 approved a contract to upgrade the old Fireside Wastewater Pump Station using funds from the sewer bond account. The $303,243 low bid was awarded to Newnan-based Ronny D. Jones Enterprises.

“The current pump station has given us years of service but it has become a continuing maintenance problem,” City Administrator Jim Williams told the council. “This is part of the overall infrastructure improvement program for the city. We decided this would be one of the first things we addressed with funds from the sewer bond account.”

The two submitted bids were opened Feb. 22. City consulting engineering firm Integrated Science & Engineering reviewed the bids and checked credentials, Public Works Director and City Engineer Troy Besseche said in a Feb. 22 memo. Jones Enterprises was the low bid at $303,243. Also bidding was Acworth’s Strack, Inc., submitting a bid of $315,245.

The project location is south of Ga. Highway 138 and east of Campbellton Road in the immediate vicinity of neighborhoods that incl ude streets such as Splitwood Lane, Fireside Way, Fieldstone Drive and hearth Way.
