Darby Council extends maintenance contracts, advances multiple CDBG and grant projects
Summary
Council approved a three‑month extension of street and sewer maintenance contracts and directed the borough engineer to prepare and advertise bids for several CDBG and grant‑funded infrastructure projects, including sanitary sewer work and park improvements.
Darby Borough Council voted Jan. 15 to extend Ordinary Street and Sewer Maintenance contracts for three months and instructed the borough engineer to prepare and advertise bids for multiple Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects and other grant‑funded work.
Engineer Eileen W. Mulvena presented a written report summarizing recent grant activity and project status. Council approved a motion by Omar Thompson to extend the maintenance contracts (vote 8‑0) and approved separate motions to authorize the engineer to advertise bids for awarded 2022–2024 CDBG projects and for the borough's priority/alternate 2023 and 2024 CDBG projects. Mulvena's memo also noted a $350,000 2023 Local Share award for sanitary sewer improvements on N. 3rd Street, a PECO Open Space award of $2,000, and a Community Project Fund grant of $657,026 for replacement of sanitary sewer main and laterals on Fern Street.
The engineer reported that the borough received a 2022 PA Small Water and Sewer Grant; the memo's numeric formatting for that award appears as '498,1 116' in the packet (transcript formatting unclear). The council's actions authorize the borough to move forward with bid preparation and public advertising so construction contracts can be awarded if bids arrive within the approved funding limits.
