Sullivan County awards four emergency watershed contracts totaling $237,925; NRCS close-out extended
Summary
The Sullivan County Commissioners unanimously awarded four Emergency Watershed Protection contracts for road and stream repairs totaling $237,925 and approved a contract close-out extension with the Natural Resources Conservation Service to Aug. 15, 2026, to accommodate in-stream restrictions and construction schedules.
The Sullivan County Commissioners on April 21 unanimously awarded four Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) contracts, approving the lowest qualified bidders to carry out repairs on county roads and stream crossings.
Commissioner Brian Hoffman moved to award Project SU-25-002 on Route 220 to Daren Thompson Excavating of Covington, Pa., for $56,800; SU-25-003 on Edkin Hill Road to Kinsley Construction Environmental of York, Pa., for $45,525; SU-25-004 on Champion Hill Road to Stonewood Landscaping, Inc. of Red Hill, Pa., for $75,000; and SU-25-005 on Nordmont Road to Cuz Excavating, Inc. of Canton, Pa., for $60,600. Commissioner Darlene Fenton seconded each motion; all four motions were unanimously approved.
Commissioner Hoffman told the board that all four contractors had been vetted by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and other subject-matter experts who reviewed the bids. The board also approved a request to extend the NRCS contract close-out date (contract NR262D37XXXXC003) from May 31, 2026, to Aug. 15, 2026, to accommodate in-stream restrictions and varying construction schedules. Commissioners said that contract is the funding source for the four EWP projects.
The awards authorize county-funded work to proceed with the specified contractors and amounts; no alternate bidders or bid protests were recorded in the minutes. The commissioners described the awards as examples of interagency collaboration to address watershed damage and infrastructure repair.
Next steps: contractors will proceed with scheduling and construction subject to NRCS permitting and in‑stream work windows; the county extended the close-out date to reduce schedule risk.
