The City’s Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) is engaged in the Sunbury/Mock Home Sewage Treatment Systems (HSTS) Elimination Project, C.I.P. No. 650895-100007 (“Public Project”). This project is being undertaken to eliminate home septic systems due to the potential ground water pollution hazard. The project will construct sanitary sewer in the following areas: from Agler Road to approximately 250 feet north of Mock road; along Mock Road from Sunbury Road to Bar Harbor Road; from Glenoak Drive approximately 1,200 feet south along Sunbury Road; and along Glenoak Drive and Sycamore Knoll Drive. The City must acquire in good faith and accept certain fee simple and lesser real estate located in project area (collectively, “Real Estate”) in order for DPU to complete the Public Project. Accordingly, DPU requested the City Attorney to acquire the Real Estate in good faith and contract for associated professional services (e.g. surveys, title work, appraisals, etc.) in order for DPU to timely complete the Public Project.
