Council awards lift-station refurbishment and piping contracts totaling roughly $95,000

Council members approved a two-part plan to rehabilitate the town's main wastewater lift station and to replace associated piping and valves. Wastewater staff said combined contracting would allow separate specialists to complete lining and piping and that available sewer funds could be applied across different fund lines to cover the work.

The council voted to accept Advanced Rehabilitation Technology's quote of $50,980 for structural refurbishment and accepted Selj's $44,000 quote for piping and bypass valve replacement. The council also authorized pump rebuilds for two RAS pumps, citing a rebuild cost of $4,194.80 for one pump and an estimate of up to $5,000 for the second, with a total not-to-exceed figure presented at about $9,194.80. As staff explained, the work must be coordinated so the bypass and lining are completed in sequence.
