Port Jervis council approves engineering contract, MHE amendment and low bids; awards Glass Street retaining wall project
Summary
The council authorized an engineering contract for a reservoir spillway rehab, approved an amendment to an MHE engineering agreement for a CWSRF sewer project, accepted low bids across categories and awarded the Glass Street retaining-wall project to Everhart Excavation; motions carried at the meeting.
The Port Jervis Common Council approved a series of contracting and procurement actions affecting public works and infrastructure.
Reservoir spillway engineering: The council authorized contracting for professional engineering services for the Reservoir No. 1 spillway rehabilitation and water-main resiliency planning project, approving an agreement not to exceed $199,000. Meeting remarks noted the cost will be covered by an approximately $200,000 grant received by the city.
CWSRF amendment: Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the December 2023 engineering services agreement with MHE Engineering, DPC for CWSRF Project C3Y3960300, effective April 28, 2025, and authorized execution of the amendment and retention of executed originals for CWSRF funding documentation.
Glass Street retaining wall: Two bids were received for the Glass Street retaining wall project. Everhart Excavation submitted the low base bid ($472,636) and ATEC Concrete Company bid $610,500. The council accepted the low bid recommendation and authorized award to Everhart Excavation LLC.
Other procurement and hires: Council moved to accept low bids across multiple material categories and authorized issuing notices of award. It also approved hiring seasonal recreation staff (start dates in June) and a seasonal employee named Mickey Lane effective the following day, noting the items were budgeted.
Why it matters: The engineering contract and MHE amendment enable progress on water-resiliency and sewer projects tied to state funding streams; the retaining-wall award and accepted bids advance scheduled capital work.
Next steps: Contract execution, necessary reviews by corporation counsel and department directors, and administrative steps for CWSRF funding processes were authorized during the meeting.
