Township awards $277,026 road-improvement contract to Stillo Paving; DPW reminds residents of pickup rules and creek cleanup
Summary
The council awarded a $277,026.42 contract to Stillo Paving & Excavating for 2025 capital road improvements. Public works updates included an electric drop-off day, grass-only pickup rules, branch pickup dates, and a warning about creek debris and flooding risk.
The Township of Clark on Monday awarded the 2025 capital road-improvement contract to Stillo Paving & Excavating in the amount of $277,026.42, approving the low bid on a roll-call vote. Council members said the work will address several streets identified for resurfacing or repair.
Why it matters: Road-improvement contracts are routine capital work that affect traffic, commute quality and stormwater drainage. Officials said the contract is the low bidder for the township’s 2025 road program.
Public works updates: Councilman Mazzarella delivered the Department of Public Works report, which included these items: - Electric drop-off at the DPW yard on Sept. 27, 9 a.m.–1 p.m.; ID required. - Grass pickup is for grass clippings only; DPW will randomly check bags and will not collect bags that contain branches, twigs, plastic or other debris. - Bulky pickup occurs by ward on the Monday of the scheduled week (curbside by 6 a.m.), no appointment required; appliance pickup requires an appointment by the Tuesday before scheduled pickup. - Final branch pickup for 2025 begins Sept. 22 (curbside by 6 a.m.). - Creek cleanup: DPW has removed more than 120 cubic yards of debris and warned that residents must not place branches, leaves or other yard debris on banks or in waterways because heavy rains can cause blockages and flooding.
Discussion vs. decision: The council approved the road contract (decision). DPW announcements were informational and intended to reduce service problems and flood risk (discussion/direction to residents).
Next steps: Contractor scheduling and coordination with DPW and the engineering department will determine specific street limits and timelines; residents should follow DPW rules for pickups and yard waste.
Ending: Residents were reminded that improper disposal of yard debris into waterways increases flood risk and that DPW will enforce collection rules.
