Council approves $22,295 sinkhole and pipe repair at Municipal Lot #1
Summary
Council accepted Mansfield's $22,295 estimate to replace roughly 10 feet of pipe, install a larger catch basin, reconnect pipes and close a sinkhole at Municipal Lot #1; McLallen had submitted a $23,450 bid.
Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips reported a sinkhole near Municipal Lot #1 that affects a 24" clay tile and recommended replacing the tile, reconnecting pipes, installing a larger catch basin next to the sinkhole, and replacing about 10 feet of pipe. Engineer Tim Wells and consultant Bob Carpenter (Insight) recommended lining pipes in sections and reconnection work as part of the repair.
Two contractor estimates were presented: Mansfield submitted a bid of $22,295 and McLallen Construction bid $23,450; both bids require the borough to provide a truck for the project. Council approved a motion by Councilor Steadman, seconded by Councilor Osborn, to award the work to Mansfield at $22,295. The motion carried unanimously.
The minutes record the scope (24" clay tile replacement, reconnection of pipes, new catch basin and ~10' of pipe) and the contractor cost; the timeline and exact start date for the repair were not specified in the minutes.
