Nassau County legislators approve $15 million sewer infrastructure investment
NEW YORK (UI) — The Nassau County Legislature's Rules Committee unanimously voted on May 6 to allocate nearly $15 million for sewer system upgrades within the 11th Legislative District, announced Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton.
This decision marked the approval of a $14,174,400 contract with R.J. Industries for general contractor services, aimed at the comprehensive rehabilitation of multiple pump stations including Knott Drive in Glen Head, Morgan Park, Viola Drive in Glen Cove, and Roslyn. Additionally, the Knott Drive ejector station will be converted into a submersible pump station. The contract will be initiated upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed by Nassau's Department of Public Works (DPW) commissioner.
Furthermore, the Rules Committee authorized a $772,455.84 construction management services contract with Gannett Fleming Engineers and Architects. Gannet Fleming's responsibilities include site supervision, cost and schedule management, document oversight, safety monitoring, and more. The contract’s duration spans 14 months from the commencement date, with the option for two one-year extensions.
These contracts, sanctioned by the Rules Committee, require no further Legislative action. Funding for these initiatives is sourced from Nassau County's capital infrastructure plan, specifically the Pump Station Upgrades line.
“On a daily basis, Nassau County residents depend on reliable sanitary sewer service to maintain preserve public health and protect our water from nitrogen pollution,” Minority Leader DeRiggi-Whitton said. “I thank my colleagues on the Rules committee for supporting critical investments in our sewer infrastructure that will protect our quality of life and foster opportunities for continued economic growth in our communities.”
