Township approves emergency storm‑sewer repair and key equipment purchases
Summary
Montgomery Township approved an emergency storm‑sewer pipe repair on Canterbury Lane for $32,065.62 and authorized purchases or listing agreements for fire and police equipment, including a 7% listing agreement for two apparatus and purchase of an Eventide DX740 radio/phone recorder for $14,720.
At its Sept. 22 meeting, the Montgomery Township Board approved several operational items: an emergency contract to replace a failing corrugated metal storm‑sewer pipe on Canterbury Lane, authorization to list and sell two older fire apparatus, and purchase of a replacement radio/phone recording system for the police dispatch center.
Gilmore & Associates solicited three quotes to replace the collapsed section of storm pipe; the lowest responsible bidder was JD Fedeli Construction Demolition Inc., at $32,065.62, which the board approved as an emergency repair to address sinkhole risk. The township noted $50,000 had been included in the 2025 capital plan for MS4 stormwater needs and that future Canterbury Lane storm‑sewer work will be bid in later years.
The fire department presented two appraisals for Engine 18 (2002) and Squad 18 (2006) and requested authority to list and sell them in anticipation of two new apparatus arriving in November. The board approved a 7% listing and selling agreement with Fireline Equipment LLC.
Police staff recommended purchase and installation of an Eventide DX740 logging recorder from Wireless Communications and Electronics (quote dated Sept. 8, 2025) to replace out‑of‑service equipment; the board approved the purchase at $14,720, noting $14,548 had been included in the 2025 capital replacement budget for the police department.
Taken together, the actions address immediate public‑safety infrastructure risks and update end‑of‑life equipment used for dispatch and investigations.
