Engineer: $34,000 Greenways Trails grant; single proposal from JMT for $39,100

Parkside Borough Council · July 16, 2026

Summary

Council received one responsive proposal for a $34,000 Greenways Trails Recreation Program grant: JMT, partnered with Natural Lands Trust, proposed $39,100 with the borough expected to supply a $6,000 match; council agreed to consider the contract in August.

The borough's engineering report covered the Greenways Trails Recreation Program grant. The borough received $34,000 in grant funding and budgeted a $6,000 match for the year. An RFP yielded one proposal from JMT, which partnered with the Natural Lands Trust; the proposal totaled $39,100.

"I put out advertised in the Daily Times ... I received nine inquiries and sent out nine proposal requests ... We only received one proposal ... their proposal was in the amount of $39,100," the engineer said. The council noted the Natural Lands Trust's conservancy experience and agreed to consider formal action at the August meeting.

The project is described as an assessment covering vegetation analysis, long- and short-term goals, priorities and cost estimates; the engineer said the work would be limited to passive recreation planning for deed-restricted woodlot property and would not include structures.
