Harrisburg council awards FY25 Powell Bill resurfacing contract for neighborhood streets
Summary
Council awarded a Powell Bill‑funded resurfacing contract for Hillcrest, Windsor Forest, College Park streets and Waterloo Drive base and paving work; the project is fully funded by the town’s Powell Bill allocation and the contract award amount was discussed in the meeting (transcript shows inconsistent reported figures; clarifying details list amounts).
The Town of Harrisburg council awarded the fiscal‑year 2025 Powell Bill resurfacing contract to the lowest responsive bidder for a package of neighborhood streets and a Waterloo Drive reconstruction segment.
Engineering staff (Devin) said the contract scope includes Hillcrest subdivision streets (Hillcrest Drive, White Tilty Court, Willow Lane), Windsor Forest subdivision roads (Flagstaff Court, Kingston Drive, Coachmen Court, Churchill Place and another listed street), and College Park streets (Byron Drive, Cambridge Drive, Ireland Drive). The Waterloo Drive work includes reconstruction and slight widening, stone base replacement and fresh pavement surface. Staff presented photos of existing conditions and described base repair and paving scope.
Funding: staff said the town’s projected Powell Bill allocation for the year is $640,000 and that the resurfacing contract will be fully funded by Powell Bill funds. The contract amount was presented with inconsistent figures in meeting materials and discussion: $523,228.60 (SEG 1409), $522,228.60 (SEG 1413), and $523,220.60 (SEG 1484). The staff recommendation was to award the contract to the lowest responsive bidder (identified in the transcript as the lowest responsive bidder; the transcript text of the bidder name is unclear). Council moved, seconded and voted to award the contract; the chair called for 'Aye' and the motion carried.
Staff noted some roads were removed from the list after adjustments to stay within the full year's allocation and that remaining Powell Bill funds will be held in reserve for future eligible projects and potentially used in a spring contract.
Next steps: staff to finalize contract documents and proceed with execution and construction scheduling; any bidder name and the final contract amount should be confirmed in the executed contract documents.
