Blakely council opens 2025 paving bids; low bid approved pending engineer review
Summary
At the Jan. 20 meeting the borough opened bids for the 2025 paving project; Stafursky Paving submitted the low base bid at $166,877.25 and council voted to approve the low bid pending the borough engineer's review.
Blakely Borough council opened bids for the 2025 paving project at its Jan. 20 regular meeting, and members moved to accept the lowest base bid pending a review by the borough engineer.
Solicitor Atty. Abrahamsen read the bids; Stafursky Paving submitted the lowest base bid at $166,877.25. Other bidders included Pennsy Supply ($187,579.40), Wayco, Inc. ($194,724.05) and several others. Council member Kevin Swift moved to approve the lowest bid pending the engineer's review; Michael Henzes seconded the motion and the vote was recorded as "all ayes."
Why it matters: The paving contract will determine which contractor performs local street improvements and will affect capital spending for 2025. The engineer's review is a standard step to confirm compliance with specifications and scope before a final award.
Next steps: The borough engineer will review the low bid and confirm scope and compliance. The council's motion authorizes staff to proceed to final award after the engineer's sign-off; no final contract was signed on the Jan. 20 record.
