Mount Vernon authorizes emergency sewer rehabilitation contract for multiple streets
Summary
The board authorized an emergency contract with Zuni Pipeline for sewer rehabilitation work on McQuestion and West Devonia avenues and 115 Dell Avenue; discussion noted funding coverage and a referenced $9,000 figure during questioning.
Mount Vernon’s Board of Estimate and Contract on Aug. 19 authorized an emergency agreement with Zuni Pipeline 8 to perform sewer rehabilitation on McQuestion and West Devonia avenues and at 115 Dell Avenue.
The ordinance authorizing the mayor to enter the emergency contract was approved by roll call with ayes from Tom Scholtenhorn, Acting Council President Poteet and Acting Mayor Brown.
During the meeting a board member asked whether the work would be paid from regular operating funds. A staff member responded that it was not fully covered by the previously identified funding source and, in the discussion, a $9,000 figure was referenced. The transcript does not specify whether $9,000 was the total contract value or a partial amount; the board did not state a final total contract amount in the public record.
The emergency authorization allows crews to proceed with rehabilitation work immediately to address sewer needs at the named locations. The board recorded the action to enable timely repairs.
