City engineer: slip‑lining contract termination will return about $58,000 to municipal funds; Habitat design and bleacher bids next
Summary
Engineer Nassar reported the slip‑lining contractor refused a portion of the work under the marsh, prompting contract termination and an estimated $58,000 return to municipal funds; he also updated the council on Habitat design, bleacher base mat completion and a Roosevelt Avenue sewer lateral.
Engineer Nassar told the council he needs guidance on whether the City or Habitat will be the applicant and fee payer for the Habitat design and said he would consult with the solicitor and conference Nancy Holm on redevelopment plan questions.
He reported the bleachers' base mat is finished and that he will coordinate bidding with Councilman Dewees. On the old slip‑lining project, Nassar said a contractor refused a portion of the pipe work under the marsh out of concern for compromising the pipe and that, as a result, "Approximately $58,000.00 would go back into the municipal funds." He also confirmed a sewer lateral was installed on Roosevelt Avenue and clarified that the alley in question is a paper street and the City is not required to make improvements on it.
No formal vote was taken on these items at the meeting; Nassar indicated he would work with Solicitor Facenda on contract termination language and return to Council with next steps.
