Council approves Pennoni technical services contracts for wastewater lift station and pump‑station work
Summary
Council authorized two Pennoni technical services agreements for construction engineering and inspection on wastewater projects: South Main/Lehigh lift station work (~$43,000) and the wastewater plant pumping-station/force-main work (~$106,000). Staff said funds will come from the town’s $40 million grant program.
Lake Placid — The Lake Placid Town Council approved two continuing‑services proposals on March 10 to support construction engineering and inspection (CEI) for ongoing wastewater infrastructure work.
Contracts approved: The council authorized Pennoni proposals for (1) Marquette/Main (South) lift-station CEI services (proposed fee $38,000 plus $5,000 contingency, total about $43,000), and (2) wastewater treatment facility pump-station/force-main CEI services (proposed fee $96,000 plus $10,000 contingency, total about $106,000). Council members said the alternatives were competitively priced; staff had obtained a second proposal for comparison.
Funding and timing: Staff said funds are available in the town’s larger wastewater grant allocations and that timely approval of CEI services is important to avoid construction delays. The council approved both proposals by roll call; staff noted the vendors had been competitively priced and that Pennoni has provided other services for the town’s utilities program.
Why it matters: The CEI contracts will provide on‑site construction oversight, inspection and testing services during major wastewater system upgrades. Council members said timely CEI services reduce the risk of construction time overruns and ensure compliance with grant requirements.
