Township awards $263,240 contract to extend water main into Grange Park for new police station

The board authorized a $263,240 contract with PAC 2 LLC to install an 8-inch waterline extension at Grange Park to serve the new police station and provide water-service and fire-protection capacity for the park.

Staff explained HRG solicited three vendors; two were unavailable and one did not propose a price, leaving PAC 2 as the responsive bidder. The cost was compared to recent similarly sized projects and found to be consistent. Staff said the extension will include a fire hydrant and provisions for future expansion; the line will tap into an existing LCA main at the Grange Road entrance and run approximately 750–800 feet into the park. The board voted to authorize the township manager to execute the contract.

A public commenter asked whether the extension could be sized to support later irrigation; staff said that while the current project does not reach all park areas, the 8-inch line selected will offer more options for future expansion and irrigation connections.
