Council awards 2025 road program contract; lists streets, ADA ramps and speed-hump plans
Summary
Council approved a low bid from Innovative Construction Services Inc. for the 2025 road resurfacing program and accepted ad alternates including curb and speed-hump work. Staff said roads come in under budget and work will be submitted for Liquid Fuels reimbursement.
Narberth Borough Council approved a contract award for the 2025 road program to the low bidder and authorized the amount included in the meeting record, $293,451.35. Borough staff told council the bids came in below the $350,000 budget and that the contractor is the same firm used last year.
A borough public works presenter said the program includes paving Meeting House Lane, Third Lane Avenue and sections of Iona, Windsor, Hampton and Haverford. The plan also includes seven Americans with Disabilities Act ramps (three on Windsor, three on Iona and one on Haverford) and three permanent speed humps (two on Meeting House and one on Iona) as ad alternates; council voted to approve all ad alternates as recommended.
“ We budgeted a little under 350,000 for this. So we came in about 15% of the budget, which is great,” the presenter said. Staff said the contract will be executed after the contractor supplies required bonds and insurance, and that the borough will submit project documents to PennDOT for Liquid Fuels reimbursement.
Council discussed resident feedback on speed humps; staff said the temporary speed cushions have slowed traffic and that the fire department reviewed the plan and did not object to the permanent humps. Council members noted they had received both praise and criticism from residents about speed controls and said they’d monitor the impact after installation.
The motion to approve the bid and ad alternates passed by unanimous vote.
