Brookhaven council reviews street resurfacing, park bids and a $280,000 trail grant application
Summary
Council heard updates on the 2024 street‑resurfacing contract pending final approval, gym floor refinishing quotes, Memorial Park embankment bids (roughly $59,500–$212,250) and a May 30 grant application for a Greenway Trail project up to $280,000 requiring a 15% local match.
Council received routine public‑works and parks updates including near‑term contracts and grant opportunities.
Public works reported the 2024 street‑resurfacing contract has been executed pending final approval and is expected to start in early May. Gym floor refinishing quotes were presented ($800 for a single court, $1,400 for two courts, $1,800 for three courts) if council chooses to proceed. For Memorial Park Field embankment work, the borough received bids ranging roughly from $59,500 to $212,250; an alternate to add accessible walkways was quoted at $43,830.
Council also discussed a DCEB Greenway Trail and Recreation grant application due May 30 for a project up to $280,000; the grant requires a 15% local match, and council indicated it would consider a resolution next week to apply. Sewer‑system rehabilitation bids were reported for work related to leaks at the sewage treatment plant; seven bids ranged from about $41,610 to $138,700, and staff recommended awarding the work to the lowest responsible bidder at $41,610.
The council did not make final award decisions on the park embankment or grant within the meeting but instructed staff to prepare the necessary resolutions and procurement actions for future meetings.
