Council hears updates on repaving, RO bids, pickleball court and vehicle arrivals
Summary
Engineer asked to seek authorization to solicit bids for the RO program and noted pickleball court painting; staff described snow damage to the pool parking lot and proposed a repaving specification that could use liquid fuels funds; staff also reported a newly arrived borough truck and upcoming banner replacements.
The borough engineer told council he will ask for authorization at the next regular meeting to solicit bids for the RO program and said the preliminary scope has been developed with staff.
"I'll be asking authorization to solicit bids for the RO program. We developed the preliminary scope with Mr. Makoszie and, James," the Engineer said, adding the pickleball court will be painted when weather permits.
Council and staff discussed heavy snow and subsequent vehicle damage in the pool parking lot. Staff described a possible design change to add a paved roadway/road-paving base along the apartment fence line at 500 Broadway to protect the borough's upper lot and ease snow storage, and suggested including that specification in the repaving contract. Staff also proposed investigating whether liquid fuels funds could be used because the damage resulted from a snow event; the Engineer said he would confirm eligibility before the bid solicitation is issued.
Manager and staff reported a recently delivered truck from Minnesota is already in use and that about 11 new veteran banners are on order; the new banners will include wind-slit designs to reduce failures and staff said they will be able to maintain banners locally.
No formal contract awards or bid authorizations were recorded in the transcript excerpt; the engineer framed the RO-program solicitation as a request for authorization at the next meeting.
