Town OKs low-bid paving for part of Warren Street and schedules streetlight demos with Potomac Edison
Summary
Public works awarded a paving contract for a portion of Warren Street (low bid approx. $22,000) and is coordinating lighting demonstrations with Potomac Edison to trial three fixture locations and light types before bulk replacements.
Public works reported awarding the low bid for paving a portion of Warren Street to P and W Contracting Excavators; the project covers roughly half the street with an estimated cost of $22,000 and is scheduled when the contractor is available. The town also reported Potomac Edison agreed to replace up to 50 lights per year (once a lighting type is selected) and will provide demonstrations at three locations representing high-traffic intersections, a main road and a residential area so the community can assess color temperature and intensity.
"We have given the go ahead on the low bidder, P and W Contracting Excavators, and we are on their schedule... the final number on that? $22,000," a public-works representative said. The town said it wants warmer decorative lighting near sidewalks and will balance wattage and intensity for main intersections.
Next steps: schedule the paving day with the contractor; receive Potomac Edison lighting demos and hold community outreach to choose preferred lighting options and confirm warranty and maintenance terms.
