Saranac Lake designates Park Ave sewer replacement as capital project; estimates $218,217.90 cost
Summary
The Village Board designated the Park Ave Northern Replacement Sewer Line Project as a capital project under its Teamsters collective bargaining agreement, citing engineering plans, a six-week schedule and an estimated total cost of $218,217.90; employees assigned will be compensated per the labor agreement.
The Village Board of Saranac Lake on June 8 approved a resolution designating the Park Ave Northern Replacement Sewer Line Project as a capital project under Article 7, Section 4 of the collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 687.
According to the resolution, the project includes approximately 1,400 linear feet of eight-inch sanitary sewer main, 12 manholes ranging roughly five to ten feet in depth and reconnection of existing sewer laterals serving Trudeau Village properties. The project was described in the record as designed and engineered by Northwoods Engineering; the estimated total cost is $218,217.90, which includes engineering, surveying, materials, labor and paving.
The board said the project meets multiple factors in the labor agreement for capital designation: it is expected to take about six weeks to complete, requires engineered plans, involves infrastructure installation and exceeds the $200,000 cost threshold stated in the contract. The resolution directs that employees assigned to the designated capital project be compensated in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement and that assignments remain at the discretion of the Department of Public Works superintendent.
The motion to designate the project was made by Trustee Ryan and seconded by Trustee Evans and passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. Next steps implied by the resolution include accounting for labor costs under the agreement and project scheduling; procurement and contract award details were not specified in the public record.
