Developer asks Suffield WPCA to release easement and reduce bond; commissioners ask for engineer review
Summary
Attorney Carl Landolina told the Suffield WPCA that Brookhill Suffield LLC seeks release of a 2017 easement and a lower performance bond after contractor bids of $160,000'$220,000. The commission agreed to review the easement history and have the engineer evaluate the bond request.
Attorney Carl Landolina, representing Brookhill Suffield LLC, asked the Suffield Water Pollution Control Authority on May 12 to release an easement granted to the WPCA in 2017 and to decrease the required performance bond because the easement conflicts with the approved building layout and no sewer infrastructure currently exists in the area.
Landolina told the commission that contractor bids for the work range from $160,000 to $220,000, which he said makes it difficult for the developer to secure a $750,000 performance bond. The commission expressed concern about the disparity between the cited bid amounts and the existing bond requirement and asked staff to review the original easement history and have the authority's engineer further evaluate the request prior to the next meeting.
No formal vote was taken on the easement or bond request at the May 12 meeting; the minutes record only the commission's direction to review the matter further.
