Mahoning commissioners award pacts for water-tank installation, supply line

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County commissioners this morning awarded contracts for installation of a 500,000-gallon elevated water-supply tank and a water-supply line extension linked to it in Canfield Township.

The $1.5 million tank installation contract went to Maguire Inc. of Sioux Falls, S.D.; and the $346,769 waterline extension project went to X-Press Underground Inc., of Petersburg.

The tank will be on a 0.9-acre site the county bought in 2015 for $105,000 on Raccoon Road, just south of U.S. Route 224 near the northbound state Route 11 exit ramp.

The long-awaited tank will increase water pressure and improve fire safety for a heavily developed area along U.S. Route 224 between Raccoon and Tippecanoe roads.

The commissioners also approved a $37,860 agreement with Everbrite Inc. of North Jackson for street-sweeping of curbed roads and bridges throughout the county.

They also approved an agreement estimated at $30,000 with Veolia Environmental Services of North Jackson to conduct a household hazardous waste collection from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 20 at the Canfield Fairgrounds.

The commissioners also voted to advertise for bids for the county’s 2017 road resurfacing program and for culvert replacements on Hitchcock and Calla roads.
