Those bid amounts were significantly lower from the estimate used when applying for the grant. Mr. Rinaldi explained to Council after the bids were received, hel had contacted PennDOT to inquire whether or not the Borough could include additional items eligible for reimbursement under the terms oft the grant. Mr. Rinaldi reported he provided! Penn DOT's Grant Office with three (3) items suggested by the Engineer and only two (2)of those suggested additions would be eligible noting they were crosswalk signs and related equipment. Mr. Rinaldi recommended to Council that the current bids be rejected and the bid package be amended toi include that equipment including (sixteen) 16: zone cameras and the crosswalk hardware.

Mr. Barrasse commented that the sixteen (16) zoned cameras have been recommended by PennDot noting Clarks Summit Borough Traffic Signals have similar equipment. Mr. Barrasse told Council he has been in contact with. Jerilyn Luben recently and believes the Borough should also include in the bid a service contract.

Mr. Barrasse reminded Council the grant was for approximately $40,000 and our expenditures will be approximately $10,000 (80/20) noting anything less and Clarks Green Borough will only save twenty (20) percent. Mr. Barrasse explained if we decide to go with that servicing contract we: might end up paying for the service contract with a contractor coming from Allentown or wherever.

Mr. Rinaldi recommended that the bidding conform with the grant request noting the Borough should not get into a situation looking for a reimbursement from PennDOT not specifically allowed under the grant recommendations for line striping and signage suggested by Ms. Luben. Mr. Barrasse told Council after talking with Solicitor Weinschenk he suggested Council should be aware oft the cost associated with servicing. Mr. Barrasse stated he was told by Ms. Luben back in the early nineties one (1)problem the Borough had with this intersection was the contractor was from out oft town who put the system in and then another contractor had to take over maintenance since the original contractor either went bankrupt or left the area. Mr. Barrasse stated he does agree with Mr. Rinaldi in rebidding the contract telling Council we are under at timeline.

It was only after the fact that Council ratified after engagement. Mr. Barrasse stated he did not believe it was not true and it was Council. Mr. Rinaldi advised Mr. Barrasse to review the meeting minutes. Mr. Barrasse stated to Council "let me communicate this one (1) more time openly and clearly to everyone that our Solicitor feels that we can benefit by knowing what the service contract charge would be". Mr. Barrasse told Council he is not going to argue anymore and ask Solicitor Weinschenk for assistance since they had already one (I) proposal. Solicitor Weinschenk told Council that this could had been avoided ift the first specifications included equipment. Mr. Barrasse stated there is ai motion on the floor and asked if anyone wanted to amend it to include the service contract. Mr. Rinaldi stated he made the motion and    would not agree to amend it. Mr. Dougherty, Ms. Igoe, Mr. Toms, Mr. Rinaldi, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Williams and Mr. Barrasse voted in favor.

Mr. Dougherty stated he would ifl he could but ifr not maybe someone else can attend. Mayor Lawler voiced her concerns with this issue asking whether it is a PennDOT problem. Mr. Dougherty asked Solicitor Weinschenk ift the current ordinances addressing pave cuts was sufficient. Solicitor Weinschenk stated the existing ordinance is not the best but certainly covers the pave cut permitting process. Solicitor Weinschenk stated he would review the ordinance and commented, since the DPW crewi is driving through the Borough every day, ift they observe a contractor opening a street the DPW should stop and ask them ift they have the necessary permit. Mr. Dougherty stated that is our best defense and will inform the DPW crew to do that. Mr. Dougherty stated the new engineering firm has the ability to write grants and he distributed packets from CNA concerning the Watershed Restoration Protection Program and the Green Ways Trail and Recreation Program noting this might help with the storm water runoff situation involving the wetlands behind Our Lady of Peace School.

Mr. Williams stated we can add hard hats to the new policyi if Council agrees. Mr. Williams told Council we might have to increase the budget.
