Salem Township approves $526,526 Central Ave. contract and several municipal purchases
Summary
At its March 24 work session, the Salem Township Board of Supervisors awarded a $526,526 contract for Central Avenue improvements, authorized night work for Route 11 restoration, and approved purchases including hydrant adaptors, street sweeping services, a township seal embosser and a municipal site survey.
The Salem Township Board of Supervisors on March 24 approved multiple contracts and purchases including a $526,526 award for the Central Avenue Improvement Project and several smaller municipal purchases.
The board awarded the Central Avenue contract to Big Rock Paving as the lowest responsible bidder; Vice‑Chairman Steven Fraind made the motion and Road Master John Fogg Jr. seconded. The award is conditioned on an extension of a grant that the board said would support the project.
Also on the agenda, the board authorized contractor Don E. Bower to perform Route 11 waterline restoration work from Bomboy Lane moving north during overnight hours (7:00 PM–7:00 AM). The board approved a proposal from Don E. Bower for street sweeping services at $195 per hour with an estimated total of $9,360 for in‑town sweeping and post‑event cleanup.
The board approved purchasing two hydrant adaptors for the Mocanaqua Fire Company for $534 to outfit new hydrants along Route 11 and Beach Haven. Separately, the board approved a $2,800 site‑survey proposal from Barry Isett to support a municipal building renovation project, and purchased a desktop township seal embosser for $312.56 with the addition of “Est. 1786” on the seal.
All motions were moved and seconded by board members (motions recorded in the minutes) and noted as approved; specific roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the minutes.
The board closed the session at 6:35 PM. Upcoming procedural steps for the larger capital projects include coordinating grant extensions and contractor scheduling.
