Utilities Committee recommends bid package for Plants A & B upgrades; committee votes 3-0
Summary
The North Royalton Utilities Committee voted 3-0 to recommend Ordinance 26-84, authorizing advertisement and bidding for a consolidated project to refurbish a primary settling tank at Plant A, add pumps at Plant B's influent station, and replace an electrical motor control center at Plant A.
The North Royalton Utilities Committee voted unanimously on May 6 to recommend Ordinance 26-84 to Council, a consolidated bid package to advance three wastewater treatment plant upgrades.
Wastewater Superintendent Ed Haller described the work as three combined projects: refurbishment of a primary settling tank at Plant A; installation of pumps in the influent pump station at Plant B; and replacement of an electrical motor control center (a motor control center panel) at the south handling building of Plant A.
Chair Matt Coleman moved to recommend the ordinance to full council; Mr. Petrusky seconded. The committee recorded Yeas: 3; Nays: 0 and the motion carried.
Haller said the combined bidding approach follows earlier steps to secure pre-approval for a loan and that the work is still in design. The committee also received updates on other sewer projects: Edgerton Road work has completed driveway restorations with lawn restoration pending favorable weather, and the Abbey Road sewer construction is complete with remaining HVAC and SCADA integration underway at both A and B plants.
Assistant Law Director Todd Schrader told council members that if residents want more detailed timelines for hookups or assessments they should email his office and staff will provide additional information. Mayor Paul F. Marnecheck said the city's wastewater function is funded from an enterprise fund separate from property taxes and reiterated that the city operates its own treatment plants rather than joining the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District.
Next steps: the ordinance will be forwarded to the full council for consideration; if approved, the city will advertise and solicit bids for the combined A & B plant improvement package.
