Board amends road program and approves $864,979 ADA ramp contract; transcript records a numeric discrepancy in road award
Summary
Staff described an amended liquid fuels road program and recommended awards; the board approved both an amended road award and a separate $864,979 contract for ADA curb ramps. The transcript records differing figures for the road award in staff presentation versus the motion; staff follow‑up was promised.
Township engineering staff presented an amended award for the 2026 liquid fuels road program and outlined a focused restriping and repaving plan that reduced scope compared with earlier recommendations. The engineering presentation listed a revised staff recommendation of $1,606,761.80 for the amended road program award to James D. Morrissey, Inc., reflecting removal of some restriping alternates and a reallocation of funds.
During the motion to amend the contract award the chair read a corrected amount of $106,761.09; the board voted 5–0 on the motion as read. The discrepancy between the staff's stated recommended amended award ($1,606,761.80) and the figure read as the motion on the record ($106,761.09) appears in the meeting transcript; a staff clarification or corrected minutes will be required to reconcile the numeric difference and confirm the intended contract value.
Separately, the board approved the ADA curb ramp program base bid plus five alternates and awarded that contract to NJS Concrete (Feasterville Trevose) in the amount of $864,979.01; staff said the combined roads and ramp construction budgets remain under the board's combined appropriation for these programs for 2026.
Mr. Kiesler said the ramp program funding (construction + engineering/inspection) was budgeted at $750,000 for construction and $750,000 total for ramps and engineering in the capital plan; after amending the road program staff reported there is money available to include alternates and still remain under the combined budget. The board approved both actions by unanimous votes.
