Buckingham board approves generator change order, payments, fuel bid awards and traffic-signal request
Summary
At its June 26 meeting the Buckingham Township board approved a $2,800 change order to the water company generator contract (BT 22-01), multiple payment requests and payroll/bill lists, awarded 2024–25 fuel bids, approved ESRO release for a stormwater facility, waived promotional sign fees for two fundraisers, and approved resolution 2624 for traffic-signal timing and 'no turn on red' signage.
The Buckingham Township board carried a series of routine motions and votes on June 26, approving contract adjustments, payments, procurement awards and several resolutions.
The board approved change order number three for the Buckingham Water Company generator upgrade (contract BT 22-01), increasing the contract by $2,800 to a contract total stated in the meeting as $788,000. The board then approved payment request number 12 to GS Developers for work on the generator upgrades in the amount stated as $77,900. A speaker emphasized the generator work is funded by water/sewer customers, not by township tax dollars.
The board also approved payroll for May 23, June 6 and June 20, 2024 and accepted the bill list for the June 26 meeting; the transcript includes a bill total that appears garbled and should be verified in township records. Draft supervisor minutes for May 15 (work session and regular meeting) were approved, and the board accepted departmental and advisory body minutes for Building & Zoning, Safety, and Environmental Advisory committees.
On procurement, the roadmaster’s recommendations were accepted to award the 2024–25 fuel bid through the Bucks County Consortium to Riggins Inc. (for regular gasoline and ultra-low sulfur diesel) and to Colonial Oil Industries Inc. for number two heating oil.
The board approved ESRO release number one for a stormwater facility for Daniel and Lisa Henry on Lower Mountain Road; the transcript records an amount that is unclear and should be confirmed in the official payment record. The board also combined and approved two fee-waiver requests, waiving the $50 temporary sign fee under resolution 2618 for Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish’s July 31–Aug. 3 rummage sale and for the Matt Foundation’s Aug. 11 park pavilion fundraiser; proceeds are to benefit local charities.
Finally, the board approved resolution 2624, a pending application for traffic-signal timing modifications and installation of a 'no turn on red' at specified Lower Mountain Road intersections. The meeting adjourned following these actions.
All motions recorded in the transcript were moved, seconded and carried; where tallies were not given the record states 'all in favor.' Verify numeric amounts and contract references in township minutes or financial records for official publication.
