Council approves $99,890 design contract for Bridgeport Spur Trail
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 202630 to authorize a design proposal from GFT, Inc. for the Bridgeport Spur Trail for $99,890; staff said two proposals were received and emphasized the multi-year nature of the project and relevant PennDOT/FEMA regulations.
Bridgeport Borough Council voted April 14 to approve Resolution 202630, authorizing a $99,890 design proposal from GFT, Inc. for the Bridgeport Spur Trail.
Council members and staff noted the borough received two proposals for the project and that Michael Baker Inc.'s bid was substantially higher than GFT's. Staff described the Spur Trail as a multi-year effort that will be coordinated with PennDOT and (where applicable) FEMA regulations.
Council approved the resolution after a brief explanation and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The Spur Trail is a capital project included in the 2026 budget that aims to add pedestrian and bicycle connectivity; approving design work is an early step enabling engineering, permitting and future construction phases.
What comes next: Staff will proceed with contract execution and continue design reviews with council input at future meetings.
