Town Council awards $75,000 sewer-lining contract to Livingston Septic
Summary
At a Dec. 23 workshop the Trappe Town Council voted unanimously to award a $75,000 sewer-lining contract to Livingston Septic, citing the company's lower bid, a responsive submission and past satisfactory work on a sewer camera project.
The Trappe Town Council voted unanimously Dec. 23 to award a $75,000 contract for a sewer-lining project to Livingston Septic. Town Administrator Erin Braband presented two bids and recommended the Council review the submittals before a motion was made.
"Award the bid in the amount of $75,000 to Livingston Septic due to their bid price, their submittal of a responsive bid package and the Town’s satisfaction with their previous work on the sewer camera project," Commissioner Jeremy Newnam said as he moved to award the contract. Commissioner Walter Chase seconded the motion and the Council approved it without objection.
The contract stems from a competitive procurement that produced two bidders: Livingston Septic and Insituform Technologies. Council members said price and Livingston’s prior work on a separate sewer camera project informed the decision. The motion record notes two bids were received and the Council found Livingston’s package responsive.
Next steps for the contract — including a start date, completion schedule and any warranty language — were not specified in the workshop record. The Council took the action as a formal award at the workshop; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded.
