Perth Amboy council moves to award $1.28 million roadway contract to PNA Construction
Summary
The Perth Amboy City Council recommended awarding the 2025 roadway improvement contract to PNA Construction Inc., with the clerk reading a staff recommendation that the contract not exceed $1,283,151; the council approved related consent-agenda resolutions tied to public works work, including pump-station repairs and annual service contracts.
The Perth Amboy City Council on March 2, 2026 heard staff recommendations to award the 2025 roadway improvement contract to PNA Construction Inc., with the clerk reading a contract amount listed in the record as not to exceed $1,283,151.
The council’s administration presented a 14-bid summary for the 2025 roadway improvement program covering Penn Street, Johnston Street and Westside Avenue. Staff identified PNA Construction as the current low bidder and recommended the award based on satisfactory past performance on similar projects. The clerk repeatedly referenced the same recommended award during both the caucus and the public meeting.
The council also considered related procurement and public-works items on the consent agenda, including a separate annual contract for repairs to the Second Street pump station (Rapid Pump & Meter Service Corporation) listed as not to exceed $100,000 and several change orders for facilities work. Those items were listed for approval alongside the roadway contract in the meeting packet and read aloud by staff.
Council members moved the consent agenda and recorded roll-call votes approving the package of resolutions; one council member abstained from a reappointment item. The roadway award and related procurement items were included in that package for final action.
The clerk and staff presented detailed bid totals for numerous respondents during the public meeting; the record contains multiple line-item totals and alternates. Staff noted PNA Construction as responsible and recommended for the road program award. The council did not receive public comment on the roadway award during the hearing.
Next steps: the council approved the consent agenda containing the roadway contract authorization, allowing staff to proceed with contract execution and associated change-order authority per the amounts read into the record.
