During a recent meeting, Union Township made several important decisions regarding infrastructure projects and services. Firstly, Plummer's Environmental was awarded a bid of $102,299 for the rehabilitation of sixteen sanitary sewer manhole structures located at various sites, including Lincoln Road, Shagbark Drive, The Oaks Subdivision #2, Independence Drive, May Street, Remus Road, and at the WWTP. The rehabilitation work will involve cleaning, debris removal, leak containment, and in-situ recovery of the well structures. Plummer's Environmental was chosen based on their track record of successful repair and maintenance work for the township, their ability to meet project specifications, and their responsiveness to the Request for Proposal (RFP).
Additionally, a participation agreement with the Economic Development Association (EDA) was approved for the Station Construction Project No. 1. This project, part of the Sanitary Sewer Capital Improvement Plan, will involve the abandonment of the existing pump station and the installation of a new submersible station, including pumps, motors, variable frequency drives, piping, flow meter, transducer installation, control panel replacement, and SCADA updates. The project also includes the installation of approximately 160 LF of sanitary sewer gravity mains and main on the west side of the property. The upgrades are crucial for improving reliability in the service area, benefiting the EDA District, and accommodating the area's current and future users. Delaying the project could lead to system failures and hinder growth and development in the service area.
Furthermore, Goenner Lawn Care was selected as the preferred bidder for mowing services for residential and commercial properties within the township that are in violation of the City's Weeds and Long Grass Ordinance No. 1998-5. The Township Manager, Mark Stuhldreher, was authorized to sign a service agreement with Goenner Lawn Care for these services.
These decisions reflect Union Township's commitment to maintaining and improving its sanitary sewer infrastructure and ensuring compliance with local ordinances for the benefit of its residents and the overall community.
