Blair Township approves engineering and IT contracts, switches code enforcement vendor
Summary
The Board approved a 2026 engineering services agreement with Stiffler McGraw (3.4% increase), contracted Berry Solutions Group for IT services, renewed Unum disability coverage, and voted to move code enforcement and permitting to Code Compliance Solutions, LLC beginning Jan. 1, 2026.
Blair Township’s supervisors approved multiple service contracts and a change in the township’s code enforcement vendor at their Dec. 9 meeting.
Stiffler McGraw submitted its 2026 engineering service agreement reflecting an approximate 3.4% cost increase from 2025. The board approved the agreement unanimously with Eric Banks remaining the township point of contact.
The board voted to contract Berry Solutions Group for managed IT and software services; Chairman Paul Amigh cited Berry’s mid-range cost, the ability to cancel without penalty and the company’s veteran-owned status as factors in the recommendation. The board also approved the 2026 renewal for Unum short- and long-term disability, which Secretary/Treasurer Kami Bilek described as having only minimal increases over 2025.
Citing turnover at the current Code Enforcement Agency (PA Municipal Code Alliance) and resulting permitting delays, Chairman Amigh presented a proposal from Code Compliance Solutions, LLC — whose owner previously served as a Blair Township code enforcement agent — and the board voted to transition code enforcement and permitting to Code Compliance Solutions beginning Jan. 1, 2026. The board noted PMCA will continue to represent the township for State UCC permitting and inspections.
Supervisor Brad Germaux said he was concerned that prior transitions had caused projects to fall through the cracks, and the board weighed continuity and responsiveness when approving the change.
