Engineer: sewer pump station project about three months behind schedule; PSA amendment tabled
Summary
Arro Engineering told supervisors the pump station and force main design is behind schedule and that permit submissions will begin at 60% design (targeted by May 2026); the board tabled the PSA amendment until a full board could act.
Doug Kopp of Arro Engineering told the Lower Towamensing board that an amendment to the engineer’s Professional Services Agreement would carry Arro’s services through design, permitting and bidding, and that the project was approximately three months behind the original schedule.
Kopp said the plan is to provide status updates at 60% design and proceed to 95% before going out to bid, and he told the board he expects to submit permit applications when the design reaches 60%. When asked about when easement work and contact with the railroad would occur, Kopp replied "May." Solicitor James Nanovic asked for clarity on scheduled milestones and on whether the PSA amendment encompassed previously incurred costs; Kopp said the amendment includes the original scope and the exceeded budget amount.
Because one board member was absent, the supervisors tabled action to adopt the PSA amendment until the March meeting.
