Chester County approves multiple road contracts, reimbursement for signs and materials

Chester County Council sitting as the County Transportation Committee approved a reimbursement of $21,676.68 to the roads department for signs and materials and awarded three construction/resurfacing contracts by voice vote during its meeting.

The committee approved reimbursement for roads department materials in the amount of $21,676.68. It also awarded RFB24-078.04 (Chester CTC 2025 time/money program, two state roads) to LCI Landberg Construction for $498,159.69; RFB24-078-901 (Chester CTC 2025 time/money phase 1) to LCI Landberg Construction for $1,697,338.78; and RFP2425-30 (resurfacing nine roads, clean asphalt) for $1,024,626.21. All items were approved by motions, seconds and voice votes with the chair calling for those in favor to “raise your hand and say aye.”

Why it matters: the awards fund resurfacing and paving work on a mix of state and local roads across Chester County, including named streets that appeared in the presentation: Duke Street, Quail Hollow Circle; Clevers Court, Cloud Road, East Creek Road, Discovery Road, Hamilton Road, Huntington Drive, Rocky Creek; and Martin Luther King Memorial Drive, Lowry Street, Nelson Road, Lincolnville Road, Sycamore Road, McCurry Drive, Hosea Strong Road and Looking Glass Drive. Contractors will schedule work and provide completion timelines to county staff.

Details and procedure: the committee took separate motions for each bid package. Contractor LCI Landberg Construction was named for two bids; motions were made and seconded and approved by voice vote. The meeting record does not show recorded roll-call tallies or individual member votes; the clerk noted each item as approved after the chair’s call for the question.

Context: County staff described work scopes during the agenda presentations, including that the RFP2425-30 package covers nine roads (six designated as state roads and three local roads) and that resurfacing will be done as an overlay with targeted patching of worst sections. No start dates or contractor schedules were available in the meeting; one presenter said he did not yet have a schedule from the contractor.
