Hanover approves $610,000 transfer and awards $1.115M contract for downtown traffic and pedestrian upgrades
Summary
The council approved a $610,000 budget transfer from liquid fuels reserves and awarded a $1,115,198.20 contract to JVI Group for a downtown Route 94116194 traffic congestion and pedestrian safety improvement project, with notice to proceed expected in mid‑June and completion by mid‑March next year.
Hanover Borough Council approved a budget amendment and awarded a construction contract for a downtown traffic and pedestrian safety project intended to reconfigure two intersections on Route 94116194 and nearby Broadway and York Street.
A borough staff presenter described the project as a long‑running effort with scope that includes replacing antiquated underground wiring, upgrading signals, installing LED luminaires and battery backup, adding a new vehicle/pedestrian detection system, and removing mid‑block crosswalks so pedestrian crossings align with signalized intersections. The apparent low bidder is JVI Group; the bid amount read into the record was $1,115,198.20. The council first approved a motion to transfer $610,000 from liquid fuels reserves into the current year’s liquid fuels expense budget to cover project pay‑as‑you‑go costs and then voted to award the contract to JVI Group.
Officials said much of the construction will occur at night and that final engineering will take place before major work begins; the notice to proceed was expected in mid‑June with completion by mid‑March of next year. The council approved both the budget amendment and the contract by voice vote.
