The city of Shenandoah approved $9.6 million in contracts at its Nov. 13 meeting for Phase 2 of a project to provide water and sewer utilities to the Tamina community.

What to know

Phase 1 of the project has been completed from David Memorial Drive east almost to Johnson Road, according to the agenda for the Nov. 13 meeting.

The construction schedule shows work will be completed by Oct. 31, 2026, with final documentation completed by Dec. 31, 2026.

According to the city, engineering is currently in progress to extend utilities north and south of Tamina Road and areas east of Johnson Road.


The six projects for Phase 2 include $5.16 million for two contracts with ISJ Underground to install underground water and sewer utilities as well as sanitary manholes and fire hydrants on the eastern side of the project. The western side of the project was deferred at a total of $2.1 million.

Another two projects will go to PMG Project Management Group and Sequeira Civil Construction for construction of four lift stations totaling $3.4 million. A contract for $1.13 million will go to Bull G Construction for plumbing, according to meeting materials.

How we got here

Following a joint effort between Montgomery County and the city in 2023, $21 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds were allocated to bring in new water and sewer infrastructure in the unincorporated community of Tamina. An additional $550,000 was allocated by the city to fund additional grant efforts, as previously reported by Community Impact.


At the July meeting, the council unanimously approved a $7.3 million contract to go to SC2 Sequeria Civil Construction BD and Phoenix Fabricators and Erectors Inc. at $2.31 million for the construction of Water Plant No. 5, according to the previous coverage by Community Impact.

What’s next

The city will decide on the contracts during the Dec. 13 meeting for the western area of the ongoing project.
