Regular Council Meeting <br />September 16, 1996 <br />7 <br />Mr. Diemert said he heard from the lawyers from AT&T and they have followed up on the Council <br />and Mayor suggested at the last meeting. They are meeting with Cellular One and have asked that we <br />hold off on signing the contract until they talk to them. <br />Council President Fixler asked Miss Heath to put this on [a future agenda] accordingly. <br />Worton Park - Regrading of ditches & minor storm sewer repair <br />Mr. Cappello said we received three bids last Friday. Bond Enterprises was the low bid at <br />$31,027.50. <br />Council President Fixler asked when they would start if Council were to approve such a project. <br />Mr. Cappello said when the Worton Park sewer project is finished-neax the end of September or <br />early October. Work would be done on one side of the street to clean the ditches to jet out the <br />culverts to improve drainage. None of this was caused by the construction-any portions (small <br />amounts) caused from the connections are being taken care of by Marra. This will affect <br />approximately half the homes, about 40 homes. <br />Mayor Rinker said Marra has been very well received by the residents in the neighborhood. They <br />were the second highest bidder on this. Marra had approached us asking if they might be able to <br />include this work and it was our collective agreement to go out to competitive bid. There was a <br />pretty significant difference [in bid amounts.] <br />Council President Fiyder asked what if we didn't do the work this year. <br />Mr. Cappello said he and Mr. Metzung walked the area. Since the road is torn up on one side this <br />year, doing the work on the other side now might make sense. It is not something that definitely has <br />to be done this year. <br />Mr. Metzung said at this point while the work is being done on the other side, it ma.kes sense to go in <br />and finish the job and get the• people on the other side of the street up to 100% and complete the area. <br />Mayor Rinker said this is consistent with the way we approached Beech Hill. When things are a <br />mess, we try to clean it up and take advantage of doing as much, constructively, as we can. <br />Mr. Metzung said we would certainly want to do this before we begin any road programs in the area. <br />Work was scheduled to be done this year and he asked they hold offuntil all the heavy equipment is <br />out of there. <br />Mr. Buckholtz said people have been pretty patient there and Marra has been good but he thinks it <br />would be pushing it to repair the road and go back in with more machinery to chop up the road again.
