Council approves $5,000 sinkhole repair in Municipal Lot No. 1; borough to supply pipes
Summary
Council accepted Mansfield’s $5,000 quote to repair and reconnect pipe at a sinkhole in Municipal Lot No. 1 and agreed the borough will provide pipe and fittings (estimated $5,000) pending no other problems.
Union City Borough councilors voted July 23 to approve a $5,000 contract with Mansfield to repair and reconnect pipe at a sinkhole in Municipal Lot No. 1; the borough will provide the pipes and fittings.
Borough Manager Cindy Wells presented two quotes: McLallen Construction for $6,800 and Mansfield for $5,000. Councilor James Kerns moved to accept Mansfield’s $5,000 quote and Councilor Steadman seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips said crews had put 400 gallons of dye into a storm drain near Hogan’s Alley and that the dye is entering sanitary lines that go to Municipal Lot No. 1; he is arranging camera inspections and suggested extending cameraing toward the area near the Salvation Army to determine the condition further.
The minutes record that the borough will supply the pipe and fittings at an estimated cost of $5,000 and that the approved repair is contingent on no additional problems being discovered during or after installation.
Council’s approval authorizes immediate scheduling of the repair work with Mansfield and assigns the borough responsibility for materials.
