Item No. 15-257
Date: July 27, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Execution of Agreement with Bangor Federal Credit Union
for Excavation of Gravel from City Gravel Pit for Lot 13 in Maine Business
Enterprise Park- Map -Lot (R25-033)
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary: This Order will authorize the execution of an agreement for the excavation of
the gravel from the City's gravel pit in Winterport to provide material for unforeseen excavation
costs for the Bangor Federal Credit Union, Lot 13 in Maine Business Enterprise Park.
The City and Bangor Federal Credit Union are parties to a Development Agreement for the Credit
Union's construction of a building on Lot 13 in the Maine Business Enterprise Park. When the
Credit Union did its due diligence and took test borings they discovered debris under the ground
at the site, which appears to be remnants of a build that was once there. Despite this
unexpected problem, the Credit Union wants to proceed with the project. This will require
removal of the debris and bringing in new material. They have requested that the City make
some of its gravel from the City's gravel pit in Winterport available at no cost. It will amount to
approximately 6,250 cubic yards of bank run gravel and the will be hauled by the contractors for
the Bangor Federal Credit Union. This item was reviewed and recommended for approval at the
July 21, 2015 meeting of the Business and Economic Development Committee.
