Council authorizes RFQ for Main Street–Polk Valley Railway intersection design
Summary
Council approved a request for qualifications for survey, design and engineering services for intersection improvements at Main Street and Polk Valley Railway, with staff recommending a local firm among solicited respondents; RFQ covers qualifications only, not pricing.
Staff recommended issuing an RFQ for survey, design and engineering services to support intersection improvements at Main Street and the Polk Valley Railway crossing and said six firms were invited to respond. The recommendation singled out a local firm with prior borough projects; staff emphasized the RFQ requests qualifications only, not pricing.
"My recommendation is that we enter into an agreement that, the borough and BIA work on an agreement for pricing," staff said, noting the firm's local experience on similar PennDOT projects. Council moved and approved the RFQ by voice vote; staff will finalize terms and outreach to qualified firms.
The item was presented as a step to prepare for potential state/federal funding and more detailed design work; no contractor was selected at this meeting.
