PERTH AMBOY – 3/26 Council Meeting – R-172-3/14 – A change order 2,3,4 to the contract with Bird Construction for the City Marina reconstruction project in an amount not to exceed $229,453.53.

Business Administrator Greg Fehrenbach explained at the Caucus Meeting the issues involved in this project that must be resolved. “We have to increase the size of the water service lines on the docks. The steel wailers on the bulkheads have to be replaced to make sure they stay in place. They will be 120 feet in length with six 40 feet sections and coated. The cost will amount to $85,000 taking into consideration the cranes, material and labor. Pavers have to be ripped to get to the water and electric lines. $94,000 is needed to level existing pavers. The City paid a large claim when someone was injured due to pavers that were loose. The repairs mentioned need to be done soon or the cost will triple due to more wear and tear.”
