Munhall council reviews Main Street rehab and votes to seek bids for 203 Valley lot
Summary
Council discussed a Main Street rehabilitation and a rear parking lot paving estimate of about $140,000, and voted to put the 203 Valley lot out for bids after local stakeholders requested a permanent location there.
Council members discussed the Main Street rehabilitation survey results and an estimated cost to pave the lower (rear) parking lot; they also approved a motion to put the 203 Valley lot out to bid after an interested party requested a permanent location.
Why it matters: The rear parking lot and Main Street work are capital projects that affect downtown access and storm/drainage grading; the 203 Valley lot decision initiates a competitive process that could affect downtown property use and parking supply.
The borough engineer reported the Main Street survey has been completed and staff are “narrowing down quantities and costs” and are waiting for clarity on lighting. A council member reported the rear parking lot paving estimate as $140,000: “parking lot. $140,000. 1 hundred and 40 thousand dollars.” Members raised concerns about slope, grading and a ponding area that may require grading beyond simple paving.
Separately, a solicitor for a 203 Valley property indicated his client was anxious to have a permanent location; a council member moved to put the lot out to bids and the motion passed by voice vote.
Ending: Council asked engineering staff to finalize cost quantities, confirm lighting options, and to proceed with the bidding process for the 203 Valley lot. No final construction contract or funding appropriation was approved at the meeting.
