The Hampton City Council voted to expedite the early planning stages of a water main replacement project during a short meeting last Thursday.
     The city intends to replace water mains between Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Avenue Southwest early this summer by boring in new pipe. The project’s estimated price tag doesn’t meet the threshold that requires the city to bid it out to contractors, which led the council to move forward with a “competitive quote process.”
     The city will be able to seek quotes rather than formal bids, to allow the project to start two weeks earlier than previously expected.
