Council approves East Mountain stormwater improvements, adopts responsible-contractor rules and awards contract to RLE Enterprises
Summary
The council adopted a responsible-contractor resolution for East Mountain stormwater work and approved a contract with RLE Enterprises to carry out East Mountain Stormwater Improvements, contract 1.
The Scranton City Council moved forward on East Mountain stormwater work by adopting a resolution establishing responsible-contractor procurement requirements and awarding a contract for East Mountain Stormwater Improvements, contract 1.
As chairperson for the Committee on Public Works recommended, the council passed a resolution described in the meeting as "resolution number 1982025" establishing responsible-contractor requirements for the procurement of East Mountain Stormwater Improvements (item 7b). The council then approved a contract with RLE Enterprises to perform East Mountain Stormwater Improvements, contract 1 (item 7c).
Both measures were approved by roll-call votes. Recorded votes on both items showed: Councilmember King — Yes; Councilmember Shuster — Yes; Dr. Rothchild — Yes; Councilmember McAndrew — Yes; Councilmember Smirrell — Yes. The chair declared each item legally and lawfully adopted after the roll call.
Council members characterized the actions as moving an identified stormwater project into the construction phase with standard procurement requirements intended to ensure contractor responsibility. The meeting record did not include the contract price, a start date for construction, or specific performance milestones; the council referred implementation to the Department of Public Works and the city engineer.
No formal amendments to the resolution or the contract award were recorded in the meeting minutes.
