Engineer recommends Landberg Construction for streets contract; Borton Drive Phase II scope and financing tabled
Summary
Council heard an engineer presentation on Borton Drive Phase II and a recommendation to award a streets contract to Landberg Construction with a Feb. 28 award deadline. Council tabled final decisions on the Borton Drive alternatives and financing pending auditor input; auditor advised that, without a CFO, the Finance Clerk or Borough Clerk should sign Certification of Funds.
The borough's engineering office recommended awarding a streets contract to Landberg Construction and noted that an award must be made by Feb. 28, 2026. Because the borough currently has no CFO, the auditor recommended that either the Finance Clerk or the Borough Clerk sign the Certification of Funds for any award.
Engineer Jim Biegen presented the original scope and three alternatives for the Borton Drive Phase II project and discussed financing options for each alternative. Council discussed the financing choices and tabled a decision, directing staff to seek the borough auditor's input before moving forward.
Why it matters: Borton Drive Phase II is a capital project with near-term procurement deadlines and multiple financing alternatives; the council paused action to ensure financial oversight in the absence of a CFO.
What's next: Council will reconvene on the project after receiving guidance from the borough auditor and before the Feb. 28 contract award deadline.
