Council approves contracts for stormwater inspection, park engineering and public-health data integration
Summary
York City Council approved several contracts: a cooperative-purchase CCTV and jet-vac services agreement not to exceed $100,000, an engineering contract for Farkas Park for $147,000, and a sole-source public-health data integration agreement for $139,000. Council noted grant funding covers the park and public-health items.
The York City Council approved three vendor agreements aimed at infrastructure, parks and public-health systems during its legislative meeting.
Resolution 28 authorized a contract with Utility Services Group Inc. (via the Commonwealth cooperative) for CCTV televising of stormwater lines, a jet-vac truck with operator, and flagger services, with total spending not to exceed $100,000. The director of public works described the work as the second year of a multiyear inspection program to map inlets, identify problems and produce downloadable reports for city systems.
Resolution 29 authorized a professional engineering contract with CS Davidson for the Farkas Park master plan (phase 1, including new restrooms and a playground) at a cost of $147,000. Councilmembers noted the project is supported by a DCNR grant and matching funds.
Resolution 30 approved a sole-source agreement with Simpli Spatial to configure and integrate multiple public-health systems (including CureMD, NEDSS and GIS platforms) at a total cost of $139,000. Director Krueger told council the work will be covered by grant funding (fund 26, not the general fund) and includes COVID-era modernization grants intended for public-health data systems.
All three resolutions were moved, seconded and approved by roll call during the meeting. Council members asked that reports from the CCTV inspections be shared with relevant partners and emphasized the grants supporting park and public-health work.
The council also approved Resolution 26 to grant certificates of appropriateness for exterior work at three downtown addresses (35 N. Queen St., 132 S. George St., and 158 S. Pershing Ave.).
