A public comment period will be included (3 minutes).

ACTION: Council action is anticipated.

Description

The Wastewater Superintendent has developed plans and specifications necessary to accommodate required modifications to existing sewer lines within the combined Town and Maine Department of Transportation project to reconstruct the intersection of Woods, Longwoods, and Middle Roads. The proposed work is estimated by our consultants to cost approximately $160,000. Staff is requesting a supplemental appropriation to finance this project in the amount of $175,000 which includes $15,000 in contingency funding. The transfer of funds will not adversely affect the Wastewater Department Capital Improvement funds. The Town Manager will execute the attached agreement between the Town and the State of Maine if the Town Council approves the supplemental appropriation.
