Official Text
Dear Honorable Board Members:
At the request of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, additional work was required prior to closing out Contract No. 08-009 for sewer and drainage improvements on Pearson Ave. and Josephine Avenue. Work included the disconnection of residential roof leaders from tying into the sanitary sewer system. Roof leaders are required to discharge onto the property, not into the sewer system - ultimately reducing inflow volumes.
This work has been completed and the contractor has invoiced the City for the work. In order to pay for the work completed, the Department of Public Works needs to extend the existing contract to December 31, 2011. Since this contract extension would put it at beyond three years, your Honorable Board's approval is necessary.
This will be the final payment to the contractor and the project will be closed out upon completion.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
