Council adds walk‑on resolution to send Meadowbrook School parking lot project to bid after updated estimate
Summary
After Morgan Engineering revised its estimate downward, council added a walk‑on resolution to authorize going out to bid on paving the Meadowbrook School parking lot so work can occur before the school year.
Council added a walk‑on resolution (Resolution 162) to authorize engineering and bidding for the Meadowbrook School parking‑lot paving project after the administration reported updated cost estimates.
Officials said Morgan Engineering's earlier estimate and fees had been higher, and that newer analysis indicated reduced scope and cost. The presiding officer relayed the figures as presented at the meeting: the firm’s earlier estimate and fees were quoted (engineering fees were stated at $86,000) and the parking‑lot cost was described in meeting remarks as previously around "$4.78" and now "closer to $3.25" (figures reported by administration during the meeting). The administration recommended authorizing the borough to go out to bid so contractors could be secured and work performed before the upcoming school year, if bids and financing support it.
Council did not adopt a final construction contract at the meeting; the resolution would simply authorize moving the engineering and bidding process forward so that work can be scheduled if prices and funds align.
