Swansea board backs county CDBG sewer‑lining project, notes bids exceed engineer estimates
Summary
The Village adopted Resolution 1‑2706 supporting the county's 2024 Community Development Block Grant sewer‑lining project; staff noted low bids were higher than the engineer's estimate and the village must confirm its contribution.
Public works staff presented the village's role in the 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) sewer‑lining project and asked the board to adopt a resolution of support required by the county. Staff described the item as 'a formality' to confirm the village's acknowledgement of required local costs and continued participation in the project.
One staff member explained that low bids for the project were higher than the engineer's estimate and that the county's award amount changed slightly (a referenced county amount noted conversationally as 100 and 95 in the transcript). Staff said the village would 'double back' to ensure it remains on board with the required contribution; the board moved and adopted Resolution 1‑2706 by roll call.
Trustees asked staff to continue monitoring grant awards and bid results; staff said they would bring final contract and cost details back to the board for approval before committing village funds.
