Union City approves $22,295 repair to sinkhole, pipe at Municipal Lot #1
Summary
Council approved contracting Mansfield for $22,295 to replace a 24-inch clay tile, reconnect pipes, replace a catch basin and repair a sinkhole at Municipal Lot #1; McLallen Construction provided a comparable estimate.
Union City Borough Council voted to award a public-works contract to Mansfield for $22,295 to repair sinkhole damage and associated storm pipes at Municipal Lot #1.
Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips described a sinkhole affecting a 24-inch clay tile and said engineers recommended replacing the damaged tile in sections, reconnecting pipes in the sinkhole to the 24-inch line, replacing the nearby catch basin with a larger unit and replacing about 10 feet of pipe. Engineer Tim Wells and contractor representative Bob Carpenter provided suggestions and two written estimates: Mansfield $22,295 and McLallen Construction $23,450. Council approved the lower Mansfield bid; the borough must provide a truck during the project.
The motion to authorize the work was made by Councilor Steadman and seconded by Councilor Osborn and carried unanimously. Council did not specify a start date in open session.
