Forest Hills approves street, storm and sanitary sewer contracts and a new public‑works hire
Summary
The council approved awarding multiple public‑works contracts — Ardmore Boulevard storm improvements ($352,500), Ashley Court sanitary sewer rehabilitation ($154,600 plus alternates) and Cheryl Lane storm improvements — and hired a public‑works laborer effective Aug. 26, 2024.
Forest Hills Borough Council moved forward on several public‑works projects at its Aug. 21 meeting, awarding contracts and adding staff.
Council approved hiring Nolan Drew as a public‑works laborer effective Aug. 26, 2024 under the borough's collective bargaining agreement. The hiring motion passed by voice vote.
On contracts, the borough accepted the low bid for Contract 24‑ST1 (a rebid for Ardmore Boulevard storm sewer improvements) in the amount of $352,500. It also awarded Contract 24‑S3 for Ashley Court sanitary sewer rehabilitation for a base bid of $154,600 plus two add alternates, and awarded Contract 24‑ST2 for Cheryl Lane storm sewer improvements (transcript shows a figure of $1,084 for one line item that appears truncated in the record; exact contract total should be confirmed with borough records before publication).
Council members said the bids and hiring reflect ongoing attention to stormwater and sanitary infrastructure and that staff will complete standard contract execution steps and project scheduling.
Ending — The engineer reported nothing further at the meeting. Council approved the motions by voice vote and directed staff to finalize contracts and scheduling.
