Summary
The board voted to award a $77,003.53 contract to Bowman Excavating Paving and Concrete for parking lot upgrades at the Centre County Sheriff's Office to address subsurface issues and improve the lot.
The Centre County Board of Commissioners approved a contract with Bowman Excavating Paving and Concrete on April 17 to upgrade the Centre County Sheriff's Office parking lot. County staff presented the contract as a repair and sealing project to address a previously paved-over underground section associated with the old jail and to prevent a recurrence of last year's sinkhole-like behavior.
The contract amount presented to the board was $77,003.53 and $0.25. County staff noted Bowman had performed satisfactory work on a separate Willowbank office project. Commissioners said the upgrade will provide a more permanent fix for an area that previously behaved like a sinkhole and will better accommodate many sheriff vehicles.
A commissioner moved and seconded the motion to approve the contract; the board voted by voice and the motion passed.
