Board approves sewer‑lining contracts, authorizes $478,849 budget adjustment
Summary
Trustees authorized two sewer‑lining contracts and a $478,849 budget adjustment. Pipeline Management was authorized up to $1,030,960 and SAK Construction up to $447,889; officials said work targets older vitrified‑clay pipe across roughly 360 miles of system.
Justin presented two sewer‑lining proposals for 2026 and explained the work targets older vitrified‑clay pipe in several neighborhoods, noting the township’s system spans roughly 360 miles. "We've been doing the sewer lining a long time," Justin said, and described the before‑and‑after camera inspections used to verify the rehabilitated pipe.
Trustees moved to authorize a budget adjustment of $478,849 to account number 59055‑97010, to authorize Pipeline Management to complete the attached sewer‑lining project not to exceed $1,030,960 and to authorize SAK Construction to complete the attached sewer‑lining project not to exceed $447,889. The motion passed by roll call; trustees emphasized the plan to test SAK this year while maintaining work with the incumbent Pipeline Management.
Town staff said pipe sections are inspected annually and the camera program typically identifies 50–70 sections needing lining. Officials said the work is a cost‑effective alternative to open excavation and that the projects were bid using competitively procured contracts from other jurisdictions to leverage pricing.
