Council awards Paradise Street Phase 2 contract to Marino Corporation for $1.41 million
Summary
Phoenixville Borough Council voted to award the Paradise Street Improvement Phase 2 contract to Marino Corporation for $1,408,884.60 as the lowest responsible bidder, contingent on Chester County Department of Community Development approval; a ribbon cutting is planned June 6.
Phoenixville Borough Council voted April 14 to award the Paradise Street Improvement Phase 2 contract to Marino Corporation for $1,408,884.60 after the borough traffic engineer recommended the firm as the lowest responsible bidder. Council made the award contingent on approval from the Chester County Department of Community Development.
The motion to award was made by Mister Weiss and seconded on the floor; council later described the project as nearing construction and noted its benefits for downtown connectivity and access to the fire station. Council members and committee chairs said a ribbon‑cutting is planned for June 6 at 10 a.m.
Council and department briefings included a note that PennDOT‑led construction on Route 23 and Bridge Street will also begin in the coming weeks and is likely to affect traffic patterns; the ITTS committee urged residents to watch the borough website for updates.
The Paradise Street contract was approved during the meeting’s new‑business agenda; the motion carried (roll call: motion carries, no recorded opposition). Work is expected to start in the coming weeks, pending county signoff and routine pre‑construction tasks.
Why it matters: The Phase 2 work improves access between downtown, the fire station and other parts of town and carries a multi‑million dollar construction budget funded through borough capital plans and grant/approval processes (Chester County approval noted as a condition).
