Lock Haven awards signal-improvement contract funded by Greenlight Go grant
Summary
Council approved awarding a traffic-signal improvement construction contract funded in part by a Greenlight Go grant; staff said the project’s low bid and local match require immediate award to keep the spring construction schedule.
Council approved awarding the construction contract for a traffic-signal improvement project that staff said is funded in part by the Greenlight Go program. City staff reported a grant award (Greenlight Go) and cited a local match; staff said bids were opened and the low responsive bid was identified and recommended for award so the contractor can order materials and start construction in spring.
During discussion a councilmember asked whether the grant application could be amended to reflect a higher bid; staff cautioned that delaying the project would be problematic and that changing the award could jeopardize timely construction. Council voted to award the contract and authorized staff to proceed with procurement and contract execution.
The staff presentation included grant and local-match figures; staff noted any cost overrun would be the city's responsibility and that award would allow the contractor to order long‑lead items for spring construction.
