Stormwater and sewer work reviewed; punch list finished for Davis Road extension and lighting change order discussed

Engineering and public works updates occupied a portion of the meeting, with the borough's engineering representative describing the results of a DPW site visit and pipeline video. The director (S6) said the DPW provided a video from the Reid and Philip intersection to Charles Avenue and that, based on that footage, slip lining was determined not to be appropriate for reconstruction on Audemars Avenue and Patricia Lane; staff said it is preparing an application to submit before the July 1 deadline.

The director reported that punch list items for the Davis Road sewer extension project were completed on June 4, 2026. "Punch list items are completed on 06/04/2026," the director stated.

Separately, staff presented a proposed change order for the field lighting project. The presenter said the project was awarded as 'base plus 1' and that the change order was needed to add an additional ad alternate. An architect sent a letter and payment application to the borough; staff said the item needed to be budgeted and that counsel had been consulted earlier in the year. Council members discussed whether to approve the additional work now or wait until the next meeting.

Staff also noted that the field lighting system is substantially complete and that the borough will be able to monitor usage through an online app, which staff presented as an alternative to individual meters.

The meeting record does not show a final authorization or executed change-order vote for the lighting item; staff indicated it could be delayed for further review.

Because portions of the transcript are tersely recorded, the article avoids expanding conclusions beyond what was presented at the meeting and flags the engineering assessment and change-order status as items for follow-up.
