The Greenville City Council announced that the consulting company Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood have found an additional grant to expand their engineering services for the water impoundment study the city retained the company to perform. The study is being conducted to find a site for a possible water reservoir that may be necessary in the future to address our expanding city’s water needs.

&uot;GMC was able to find additional funds to conduct dirt sample surveys that were not included in our original contract with them,&uot; Mayor Dexter McLendon said. &uot;We need to approve an engineering services contract to include that.&uot;

The council approved the resolution for the contract.

The council also approved a resolution to award the airport perimeter fencing contract to Columbus Fencing Co., of Columbus, Miss. The company submitted the lowest bid.

&uot;Because the bid was lower than we expected,&uot; McLendon said. &uot;We will be able to fence more than we originally planned to. But we have to submit this bid now to get the Federal Aviation Administration’s approval to go ahead with the project.

Bids were received in the city council’s chambers at 2 p.m., Monday.
