Princeton approves nearly $6 million in sewer rehabilitation contracts; authorizes additional maintenance agreement
Summary
The council approved three contracts for mini system 36 sewer rehabilitation (contracts A, B and C) and an on‑call pump station maintenance contract, totaling about $6.14 million in awards.
The Princeton mayor and council on Aug. 25 approved three construction contracts to rehabilitate portions of the town’s sewer mini system No. 36 and authorized a separate on‑call contract for mechanical and electrical pump‑station maintenance.
The council awarded contract A, B and C for mini system 36 rehabilitation to National Water Main Cleaning Company, Inc. The not‑to‑exceed amounts are $1,982,858 for contract A; $1,868,094 for contract B; and $2,089,926 for contract C—a combined total of $5,940,878. The council also awarded an on‑call mechanical and electrical maintenance services contract for pump stations and forced mains to Rapid Pump and Meter Service Company LLC for an amount not to exceed $195,412.50.
All of the resolutions for these awards were moved and seconded during the Aug. 25 meeting and approved by voice vote.
Why this matters: the contracts represent a significant investment in sewer infrastructure in the municipal capital program and are intended to address sanitary‑sewer rehabilitation needs in the identified mini system. Staff described the work as necessary to restore and extend the life of existing sewer mains and I&I (inflow and infiltration) mitigation, though the meeting record did not include a detailed engineering presentation for each contract.
Other related actions
The council also approved a change order of $4,555.20 to a turf management contract (new total not to exceed $25,941.47) and authorized other consent‑agenda items during the meeting.
Next steps
Contract documents will be executed and work scheduled according to the public‑works department procurement process and existing contract timelines. Council approved the awards by voice vote; the meeting transcript does not record a roll‑call tally of individual member votes for these items.
(Reporting note: amounts and contractor names are taken directly from council resolutions read into the record Aug. 25, 2025.)
