Committees move forward on two sewer rehab contracts and approve East Main payment
Summary
Public works committee approved final payment for East Main Street streetscape and recommended awarding two sanitary sewer rehabilitation projects — West Third Street and Edgemont/Aswan Avenue — to contractors, with dollar amounts discussed at the work session.
Lansdale’s public works committee on June 4 approved final contract payment for the East Main Street streetscape project and recommended contractor awards for two sanitary sewer rehabilitation projects.
East Main streetscape final payment: The committee approved moving forward with a final payment of $163,184.13 to close out the East Main Street Streetscape contract. Committee members said punch‑list items have been completed and that the borough will hold a two‑year maintenance warranty period on the work.
Sanitary sewer rehabilitation recommendations: The committee moved to recommend awards for two sanitary‑sewer projects to be presented to full council. The West Third Street sanitary sewer rehabilitation was recommended for award to TD Construction Company for $552,772.25 (base bid and alternate #1). An additional project listed in committee materials was described in the meeting alternately as Edgemont Avenue sanitary sewer rehab and as “Aswan Avenue”; committee staff said both projects were recommended for award and that the award for that roadway will be to Dolly Construction in the amount of $359,359. Committee members said earlier delays were tied to securing adequate funding and that current finances allowed them to proceed with the recommendations.
Why it matters: The sewer projects are local infrastructure repairs intended to rehabilitate aging sanitary lines. The East Main streetscape payment closes a grant‑funded streetscape effort and triggers the borough’s warranty period for contractor corrections.
Next steps: Both sewer‑rehab recommendations will be brought forward to the full council for formal award and contract execution. The final payment on East Main will proceed as approved by the committee.
