The Ambridge Municipal Authority recently awarded $14.835 million in contracts for a sewer-line project in the borough, proceeding with plans to upgrade the deteriorating system despite some fears.

Last month, business owners, residents, and public officials expressed concerns to the municipal board that the project could negatively impact historic buildings in the area of Old Economy.

The sewer system upgrade project involves installing a 20-inch sewer line along Church Street in the historic section of town. Concerns were raised that the planned route runs too close to Old Economy’s nearly-200-year-old buildings, and that horizontal drilling and excavation could vibrate the old structures and cause collapse.  

The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission had requested additional information from the municipal authority’s engineer on the exact location of the work and other details.


Karen Ivancik, municipal authority secretary, said Emile Ketterer of NIRA Engineering submitted the information last Friday.

Ivancik said commission officials also understood that the municipal authority needed to proceed and award bids. She said the authority will take all necessary precautions during construction, which isn’t expected to begin until next year.

“We’re going to get vibration monitors in place and do whatever we need to do to just make sure nothing happens,” Ivancik said. 

The contractor will also meet with citizens in Old Economy closer to the start of construction to discuss traffic changes and other details. 

The following six contracts were awarded totaling $14,835,459.35:

For electrical work at the pump station on Fourth Street, Merit Electrical Group was the low bidder at $795,500. AP O’Horo was awarded the general contract at $2,963,270.

Alex E. Paris Contracting Co. was awarded a $6,052,575 contract for the Fourth Street Pump Station forced main.

For the tank and equalization facility, McCurley Houston Electric was awarded a $233,000 electrical contract and AP O’Horo was awarded the general contract at $3,485,800.

Rudzik Excavating was awarded a $1,305,314.35 for the Park Road release interceptor.
