Council awards $22,295 contract to repair sinkhole and replace pipe at Municipal Lot #1
Summary
Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips described a sinkhole tied to a failing 24" clay tile; council approved Mansfield's $22,295 estimate to replace about 10 feet of pipe, install a larger catch basin, and reconnect pipes after engineer recommendations.
Council approved hiring Mansfield to replace approximately 10 feet of pipe, install a larger catch basin, reconnect pipes and close a sinkhole at Municipal Lot #1 for $22,295 after Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips and consultants outlined recommended repairs. Two estimates were presented: Mansfield at $22,295 and McLallen Construction at $23,450; both required the borough to provide a truck during the project.
The minutes summarize engineer recommendations including replacing the 24" clay tile in the sinkhole area, reconnecting pipes in the sinkhole to the 24" line, and replacing the adjacent catch basin. Councilor Steadman moved the contract award; Councilor Osborn seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The motion authorizes the work but the minutes do not provide a start date or project timeline.
The borough’s Streets Supervisor and engineer will coordinate contractor requirements, including provision of the borough truck during construction.
