Slatington secures $220,000 supplemental funding for 100 Steps project
Summary
Council was told the 100 Steps pedestrian/transportation project received an additional $220,000, increasing the project total to $620,000; council adopted Resolution R-15-26 to accept supplemental PennDOT Transportation Alternatives funds.
Council heard an update on the 100 Steps project from Abilgail Wieder and Borough Manager Roy Hambrecht. Ms. Wieder said the project was advertised and bids were due July 16; Hambrecht told council the borough received a supplemental $220,000 over the original $400,000 allocation, bringing the project total to $620,000 to address delays and cost increases.
"As a result, the Borough received an additional $220,000 over the original $400,000, an increase of 55%, or $620,000.00," Hambrecht said. Council then moved to formally adopt Resolution R-15-26, authorizing execution of a supplement to the PennDOT agreement to accept the additional Transportation Alternatives set-aside funds; the resolution passed on a roll call vote.
Councilors were also told that CDBG-related bid documents need MWBE language and that the borough may request an extension if rewrites cannot be completed within the allowable timeframe.
