Engineer: Fairmont Park path work moving forward; contractor to refresh and blacktop paths
Summary
Engineer Jeff Shue said tree removal is complete at Fairmont Park and a contractor-provided price will be used to level, mat and eventually blacktop existing ~6-foot-wide paths using available extra funds; council discussed reusing moved dirt elsewhere in the borough.
Jeff Shue, the borough engineer, reported that work at Fairmont Park is underway: trees have been taken down and the contractor provided a price to refresh existing pathways. The plan is to level the paths, install matting and complete a blacktop surface using additional funds identified for the project. Shue said the path widths will remain roughly six feet.
Council member Dennis Klinedinst asked whether dirt excavated during the project could be moved to other borough locations; Shue said he would inquire with the contractor about relocating soil. No change orders, contract award motions, or votes were recorded in the meeting minutes; the engineer described planned next steps and cost use for existing available funds.
The update was provided as part of the engineer’s regular report; details about the contractor firm, specific line-item costs and the project schedule beyond the immediate sequencing were not provided in the work-session record.
