Summary
The Board of Commissioners authorized the Fourth Street Bridge contract to Allison Park Contractors for $5,695,000 and awarded the Westmoreland County Local Bridge Preservation contract to Swank Construction Company for $3,171,291.62; both projects are funded with federal and Act 13 local funds.
The Board of Commissioners unanimously authorized the county to proceed with two major bridge contracts. The Fourth Street Bridge (ECMS MPMS #31554) was awarded to Allison Park Contractors, LLC as the lowest responsive bidder at $5,695,000. The contract is to be executed in PennDOT's ECMS system after Solicitor review and will be funded with federal and Act 13 local funds.
The board also awarded the Westmoreland County Local Bridge Preservation contract (ECMS MPMS #106406) to Swank Construction Company, LLC for $3,171,291.62, again authorizing electronic execution in PA DOT ECMS pending solicitor review. Public Works staff provided bid tabs showing multiple bidders and recommended the lowest responsive bidders for both projects.
Why it matters: Both contracts represent multi-million-dollar infrastructure investments intended to repair and preserve county bridges with federal and local (Act 13) funding; procurement followed competitive bidding as documented in the minutes.
