The Harford County Board of Estimates on Aug. 18 approved Solicitation No. 27-096, authorizing a piggyback contract to Advanced Rehabilitation Technology, LLC of Bryan, Ohio for manhole lining and rehabilitation work.
Steven Barry of the Department of Public Works presented the proposal, saying the work would use the OBIC Armor polyurea manhole coating system to address aging and deteriorating manholes. The department recommended awarding the contract in an amount not to exceed $300,000 per year under the City of O'Donnell Purchasing Cooperative (PCA OD-437-26) and Section 41-25 of the Harford County Code. Mr. Sandlass moved the recommendation and Mr. Bettin seconded; the motion was unanimously approved.
The award is intended to maintain the county's wastewater infrastructure through lining and rehabilitation rather than full replacement when appropriate. The contract was approved as presented; no amendments, dissenting votes or dollar reallocations were recorded at the meeting.
