Union City approves $22,295 contract to repair sinkhole and pipe at Municipal Lot #1
Summary
Council authorized Mansfield to replace about 10 feet of 24" clay tile, install a larger catch basin, reconnect pipes and close a sinkhole at Municipal Lot #1 for $22,295; the borough must provide a truck during the work.
Union City Borough Council voted Aug. 13 to award a $22,295 contract to Mansfield to repair a sinkhole and associated piping at Municipal Lot #1. The motion, made by Councilor Steadman and seconded by Councilor Osborn, passed unanimously.
Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips reported that the sinkhole had compromised a 24-inch clay tile and that engineers recommended replacing the clay tile in the sinkhole area, reconnecting all pipes feeding the sinkhole to the 24-inch line, replacing the adjacent catch basin with a larger unit and replacing roughly 10 feet of pipe. Insight consultant Bob Carpenter recommended lining pipes in four sections, and Engineer Tim Wells provided additional suggestions. Council reviewed two written estimates: Mansfield at $22,295 and McLallen Construction at $23,450; both bidders required the borough to provide a truck during the project.
Council approved the lower Mansfield bid and directed staff to coordinate scheduling and borough support equipment. The transcript does not specify a project start date or exact completion timeline.
