Enforcement Director Lynn Niblock recommended that Gilbert Engineering be awarded the Pratt sewer
bid at $305,500. He said the actual low bidder, Huffman Grading, failed to meet the required Minority
Business Entrepreneur (MBE) requirements. Additionally, he said Gilbert Engineering's bid was initially
over budget; however, the company had agreed to provide the work at the budgeted amount of $305,500.
Niblock said Gilbert Engineering met all of the requirements, and the company could immediately begin
the sewer construction. He said once completed, the City of Statesville would maintain the line.
