Springettsbury supervisors approve $322,679 radio upgrade, library contract and pavement-marking bid
Summary
The Springettsbury Township Board authorized three vendor agreements Wednesday: a York County Libraries satellite services contract for up to $5,360, a Motorola police radio infrastructure purchase not to exceed $322,678.76 (mostly grant-funded), and a 2026 pavement-marking contract awarded to de GML Inc.; all motions passed unanimously.
Springettsbury Township supervisors voted to approve several vendor contracts, including a $322,678.76 police radio system upgrade, a $5,360 satellite library services agreement, and a traffic line painting contract for 2026.
The board authorized the township manager to execute the York County Libraries 2026 satellite library services agreement in an amount not to exceed $5,360. A supervisor described the program as “well used by our residents” and recommended renewing the annual arrangement.
On the police radio upgrade, the supervisors authorized purchase of Motorola police radio infrastructure under a Co-Stars contract for a total not to exceed $322,678.76. The board recorded that a statewide local share assessment grant will cover $293,324 of the cost, with the remaining $29,354.76 drawn from the general fund capital equipment account. A board member said the department’s current radios are no longer supported and that replacing them maintains operational communications.
The board also granted the 2026 traffic line painting and pavement-marking contract to de GML Incorporated as the low bidder. The transcript records the contract amount as $44,2820; the board stated the low bid was accepted and the firm has performed satisfactorily in prior years. (The transcript figure appears to contain a digit error and is flagged in the meeting record.)
All three motions were moved and seconded and approved by the supervisors present; the meeting recorded affirmative responses from the board on each vote.
The radio purchase drew brief praise for securing grant funding: one supervisor congratulated the chief and Mark Hodkinson for obtaining financing that covered a large share of the purchase. The manager and staff did not identify additional conditions or follow-up requirements at the time of the vote.
The board’s approvals will allow staff to execute agreements and proceed with vendor scheduling and procurement. There was no public comment on these contract items during the meeting.
