Montgomery Township approves curb, paving, park and police equipment contracts
Summary
The board awarded multiple 2026 public-works contracts and approved equipment purchases: NJS Concrete LLC was selected for curb and ramp work ($395,460); James D. Moresy, Inc. was recommended for paving (approx. $1,063,522.50); Harris Black Topping Inc. for tennis court overlay ($21,519.50); and Patrol PC for in‑vehicle printers ($12,211.81). All awards were made per engineer recommendations and budget authority.
The Montgomery Township Board of Supervisors on March 23 approved several construction and equipment purchases for 2026 after township engineers and staff recommended the lowest responsible bidders.
Curb and ramps: Gilmore Associates reviewed 11 bids for the 2026 curb and ramp project and recommended awarding the contract to NJS Concrete LLC as the lowest responsible bidder at $395,460. Township staff told the board the contract includes allowance for complaint-driven concrete replacements and is timed to precede 2027 roadway paving to avoid contractor conflicts.
In-place paving: Gilmore Associates reviewed 10 bids for the township’s 2026 in-place paving program and recommended awarding to James D. Moresy, Inc. (transcript listed the bid at $1,063,522.50). Staff noted the project is funded from the state liquid fuels fund and that the successful bid came in substantially under the 2026 budget allocation.
Tennis courts: The township received nine bids for tennis court improvements at Windra (Windle) Park. Gilmore recommended awarding a stone-dust overlay to Harris Black Topping Inc. at $21,519.50; staff noted the award is well under the $321,000 capital allocation for the project.
Police vehicle printers: Police Chief William Peoples presented a CoStars-authorized vendor quote from Patrol PC to replace in-car printers and mounts in patrol vehicles; the quoted total was $12,211.81 and funding was included in the 2026 capital replacement budget. The board approved the purchase.
Why it matters: the awards fund maintenance and accessibility improvements, advance multi-year planning to avoid overlap with paving, and reflect a procurement process that staff said produced competitive pricing.
Next steps: staff will finalize contracts and schedule work; public-works and engineering staff will coordinate neighborhoods and notification prior to construction.
Quotable: "Gilmore Associates is recommending award of the bid to NJS Concrete LLC, the lowest responsible bidder," Carolyn McCreary said when presenting the curb award.
