Harborview and Surfside Storm Repair Project to Go to Public Bid, Largely Grant-Funded

The Harborview and Surfside storm repair project, initially anticipated last year, has been resized and will be put out for public bid. A significant portion of the project is funded by a $300,000 grant from the PA Small Water and Sewer Grant Fund, out of an initial request of $500,000. The project was reduced from six legs to four legs due to the grant amount. The borough needs to acquire two easements with DNE's office before going to bid. The project contract scope was modified with the DCED to align with the available funding [cite: 283-330].
