Council approves $81,200 increase to Grover Avenue culvert engineering contract; park overhaul planning to follow
Summary
The mayor and council authorized an $81,200 increase to the Greenman-Pedersen engineering contract for the Grover Avenue culvert replacement, citing chronic flooding at Grover Park and plans for a broader park overhaul.
The Mayor and Council approved Resolution R-25-271 authorizing an $81,200 increase to the not-to-exceed amount for the professional services agreement with Greenman-Pedersen Inc. for engineering services on the Grover Avenue culvert replacement project. The contract’s new not-to-exceed amount is $211,137.
Council members said the change supports planning for improved stormwater management at Grover Park, an area that floods regularly during extreme storms, and that the town anticipates a broader overhaul of the park’s amenities in coordination with neighborhood input.
Councilman David Cohen described the contract increase as “a first step” toward upgrades the community has anticipated for years. Council members indicated the contract amount change is for engineering and planning; no separate construction contract awards were discussed at the meeting.
Ending: The council approved the contract increase to advance design and planning; future construction procurement will follow required procurement processes and budget approvals.
