Horseheads board hires Dunn & Sgromo to engineer Ashland Avenue culvert
Summary
The Town of Horseheads authorized a $28,800 engineering contract with Dunn & Sgromo Engineers, PLLC for the long-planned Ashland Avenue culvert replacement after reviewing two written proposals; the board passed the measure unanimously.
The Town Board of Horseheads on May 27 authorized an engineering contract for the Ashland Avenue culvert project, voting unanimously to hire Dunn & Sgromo Engineers, PLLC for $28,800.
Supervisor Donald J. Fischer opened the discussion by asking Highway Superintendent Marty Vanderhoff to review the culvert’s condition; Vanderhoff told the board the pipe is about 60 years old, sits roughly 80 feet from the town line, and is visibly in need of replacement. Vanderhoff said he received two written proposals — Hunt Engineers for $55,000 and Dunn & Sgromo for $28,800 — and recommended Dunn & Sgromo.
Resolution #102 authorizes the Highway Superintendent to contact Dunn & Sgromo and authorizes the Town Supervisor to sign a contract. The board adopted the resolution with Ayes: Riopko, Lewis, Laurey, Brennan and Fischer; Nays: none.
The board noted the engineer will prepare bid documents and oversee the public bidding process for construction; Vanderhoff previously cited a three-year-old estimate of roughly $150,000 for the project. No construction contract was approved at the meeting.
The next procedural step is engineering and bid preparation; the board did not set a construction schedule at the May 27 meeting.
