Supervisors award King Park court resurfacing, 4-1, while directing staff to seek grants
Summary
The board voted 4-1 to award a $239,000 resurfacing contract for King Park to Cousins Inc., approving the award subject to the contractor's written agreement to delay notice to proceed until spring 2025 if needed and directing staff to pursue grant funding.
Warrington Township supervisors on Sept. 10 voted 4-1 to award a $239,000 contract to Cousins Inc. for resurfacing the King Park basketball and tennis courts, subject to the contractor agreeing in writing to delay notice to proceed until spring 2025 if the township chooses to pursue grant funding.
The township's property-liability carrier had flagged the courts in a Divot risk report (yellow designation), prompting discussion about safety, budget timing and whether the work should proceed this fiscal year. One supervisor described the report as placing the township "on notice" about potential liability if a hazardous condition were not addressed; another emphasized that the yellow rating indicated attention was needed but not an immediate emergency.
Supervisors debated holding the bid until the 2025 budget process, when more precise capital and operating numbers will be available. The board asked the contractor to confirm in writing that the price can be held and that notice to proceed may be delayed until spring.
The motion approved awarding the contract with the specified conditions; the vote was 4 in favor and 1 opposed. Board members directed administration to pursue available grant opportunities to offset taxpayers' cost and confirmed that, if grant funding does not materialize, the award does not prevent proceeding in spring 2025.
