Village Board Approves More Pool Repair Bids

The Babylon Village Board of Trustees approved two additional bid awards to continue the restoration work at the Babylon Village Pool, which took major damages to the pool and surrounding structures from Hurricane Sandy.

The board awarded a $275,000 contract to FML Contracting in Carle Place for repairs to the buildings at the pool. A storage shed and the ticket booth took major damage during the storm, including both with blown-out parts of the structure.

The board also awarded a $54,010 contract to MDB Construction Corporation from Commack for the repairs to the buildings' roofing.

The village board had previously approved over $1.2 million to repair bulkheading and retaining walls at the well-used village pool.

The village pool's bulkhead will be repaired by Rockmore Contracting Corporation of Ronkonkoma for $1,085,000 while the concrete retaining wall will be repaired by 2 Sav Construction of Brooklyn for $208,000.
