CITY OF LEXINGTON NOTICE OF POSSIBLE BID AWARD
Notice is hereby given that the City Manager is recommending City Council adopt Resolution 202602 to award a $580,000 contract to Ridgetop Excavating LLC for the installation of a Woods Creek Detention Pond to reduce stormwater runoff into Woods Creek. This stormwater project will capture runoff from approximately 14 acres of Lexington and will allow for nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen to settle out from the detained water. The stormwater will be gradually discharged into Woods Creek after these nutrients have settled out.
The original project budget was $281,684. A state grant of $196,124 is paying for a portion of this project. The proposed project is thus $298,319 more than budgeted in the City’s FY 26 Budget and CIP. The City Manager is recommending the shortfall be closed with surplus funds from a 2021 Virginia Resource Authority bond issuance.
Lexington City Council will consider Resolution 2026-02 on Thursday, February 5, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. during its regular meeting, held in the first-floor meeting room of the Rockbridge County Administrative Offices, 150 South Main Street, Lexington, Virginia. Copies of the proposed resolution may be obtained from the City Manager’s Office in temporary City Hall at 539 E. Nelson Street.
Katharine L. Beard, Clerk of Council
