Summary

This notice serves as a written determination and public notice of an emergency contract award by the City of Buena Vista for the repair and restoration of a failed Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) unit at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The emergency was declared due to the unit's failure, which compromises the City's ability to maintain compliance with Virginia DEQ permit requirements. Due to the urgent nature, competitive sealed bidding or negotiation was not practicable. Waco was selected for its qualifications, experience, and ability to respond immediately.
