North Haledon schedules bids for Molly Ann pump station; tennis-court repairs delayed by spring rains
Summary
At its May 18 work session, North Haledon officials said bids for the Molly Ann Pumping Station Rehabilitation will be received June 27 and awarded at the July 20 council meeting; the tennis-court punch list has been slowed by heavy spring rains. The council also discussed sidewalks, a proposed roundabout and cell-tower ownership.
The Borough of North Haledon announced at its May 18 work session that bids for the Molly Ann Pumping Station Rehabilitation will be received on June 27 and the project is expected to be awarded at the borough's July 20 council meeting. Borough Engineer Joseph Pomante presented the schedule and placed the Engineer's Certificate for the Overlook Avenue and 2021 Road Improvement Project on file.
Mayor Randy George said the Tennis Court Rehabilitation punch list has taken longer to finalize because of heavy spring rains that delayed work and inspections. "[T]he punch list for the Tennis Court Rehabilitation had taken longer than planned because of all the heavy rains this spring," the minutes record.
Officials also said they plan to apply next year for a New Jersey Department of Transportation grant to fund sidewalks and upgraded crosswalks along Linda Vista Avenue. Council Member Bruce O. Iacobelli asked about a proposed roundabout at Manchester Avenue and North Haledon Avenue; Mayor George reported he had sent an inquiry to the county but had not received a response and said he would follow up. The borough engineer noted there were four minor accidents at that intersection in the past three years and suggested extra flashing lights may have contributed to improved safety.
Mayor George reported he had spoken with a representative of K2 Towers about the old cell tower; the representative "assured him that T-Mobile still owned the old cell tower" and said documentation would be provided to substantiate that ownership.
The meeting packet recorded these items as project-status and agenda preparations for the regular council meeting; no final contract awards, ordinances or binding decisions on the roundabout were made at the work session.
