Council awards $455,200 contract to Shiloh Paving for court-ordered segmented wall
Summary
Facing a court consent order, Red Lion Borough awarded a $455,200 contract to Shiloh Paving for segmented wall repairs at 33 W. Broadway after discussing rebidding risks and contractor reluctance due to litigation concerns.
Council reviewed two bids for a segmented wall at 33 W. Broadway under an existing consent order and awarded the contract to Shiloh Paving for $455,200. Jeff Shue, the borough engineer, reported Shiloh nd York Excavating—ids and advised Council that the Borough could rebid one time per the consent order but risked higher or no bids if delayed. Property owner Scott Thompson emphasized the project's long delay under the court order and urged compliance.
The bids presented were: Shiloh Paving at $455,200 and York Excavating at $984,580, a gap contractors attributed to project litigation and perceived risk. Mr. Klinedinst proposed rebidding in spring to get lower bids, but Council chose to award the project to Shiloh; Jeff will secure bonds and bring an executed contract to the October meeting to begin work immediately after bonding.
Council acknowledged the legal constraints imposed by the consent order and the practical trade-offs between immediate compliance and potential cost savings from rebidding.
