Council approves $189,451 Parkson replacement after Bearing Construction changes rebuild plan
Summary
Following notice from Bearing Construction that the influent bar screen would be rebuilt on-site rather than shipped to Florida, the Trappe council approved a $189,451 Parkson replacement contract to secure a longer warranty at their Dec. 23 workshop.
Town Administrator Erin Braband told the Trappe Town Council that Bearing Construction had notified the town the influent bar screen would not be sent to Florida for refurbishment and instead would be rebuilt on-site at no change in price. After discussion, Commissioner Jeremy Newnam moved to change the award to Bearing Construction to a Parkson replacement (a new unit) in the amount of $189,451 rather than approving an on-site refurbishment; Commissioner Walter Chase seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
Administrator Braband's briefing framed the change as a supplier update that altered the recommended procurement approach: the council chose a new Parkson replacement to secure the increased warranty associated with a new screen. The transcript does not record additional technical specifications, an installation schedule or funding source for the $189,451 replacement.
