Board rejects Copeland Schoolhouse restoration bids after proposals exceed expectations
Summary
Two restoration bids for the Copeland Schoolhouse—$224,000 (Uhrig Construction) and $169,300 (Donald E. Reisinger Inc.)—were rejected; the Board will revisit the project during 2027 budget preparation and rebid early next year.
East Bradford Township supervisors rejected two bids for exterior window and door restoration at the historic Copeland Schoolhouse after receiving amounts notably higher than anticipated.
The Township received bids from Uhrig Construction, Inc. for $224,000 and Donald E. Reisinger Inc. for $169,300. Mr. Laverty moved to reject all bids and the motion passed. The Board agreed to re-evaluate the project during the 2027 budget process and rebid in early 2027. Resident Rebecca Smith asked if student restoration programs could be used to reduce costs; Ms. Cantlin explained bidding and contracting requirements that limit how municipalities may structure construction contracts.
