Council approves multiple public-works pay applications and capital upgrades including stormwater, sidewalks, park lighting and gym HVAC
Summary
The council authorized payments and change orders to continue stormwater repairs, Elm Tree Park improvements, the municipal building ADA sidewalk, Millennium Park field lighting, the 2024 road program, and purchased a gymnasium HVAC system.
Public Works and Maintenance items formed a significant portion of the Feb. 10 meeting as council approved a series of pay applications, change orders and capital purchases to maintain and upgrade municipal infrastructure.
Miss Flynn, chair of Public Works and Maintenance, summarized several items before roll calls. She described change order No. 3 for the 2024 stormwater repair and replacement contract as covering "additional work added to replace storm lines and repair a small sinkhole." Council approved change order No. 3 for $35,215 and pay application No. 5 for $77,296.75 (funded from both capital and operating budgets) for the same contract.
Other approvals included payment of $47,516.74 from capital funds for the municipal building ADA sidewalk; two invoices to HRG totaling $21,164.81 for Elm Tree Park stormwater improvements; a $15,437.65 purchase to upgrade the Public Works fuel system; and a $21,800 payment for completion of the demolition at 3204 Comanche Road from the blight demolition project line. Council accepted a $25,000 decrease to the Millennium Park field-lighting contract and approved an additional pay application of $38,024.29 to Allegheny City Electric for the lighting work.
Road program approvals included final and interim payments to contractors (Telegraphics Landscape final payment $8,814.95; MeMillie and Sons pay application $190,184.68). The Highland Road and Oxford Drive project received a credit change order of $2,470 and a final pay application for $18,126.50. The wastewater treatment plant pipelining final payment to JetJack Inc. was $13,250.12. The council also approved purchase of a 40-ton DX cooling HVAC system for the community center gym from East West Manufacturing for $90,500, funded from reserves; Miss Flynn said ordering now provides lead time for summer installation.
Each item was approved by a recorded roll call that showed all seven council members voting yes.
