Board ratifies road maintenance advertisement and approves Riemer Road culvert replacement
Summary
Supervisors ratified advertisement for the 2026 Road Maintenance Project (multiple roads and treatments) and approved a 71" x 47" aluminized arch culvert replacement on Riemer Road, authorizing Gateway Engineering to submit the GP-7 permit.
The Jefferson Township Board of Supervisors ratified the advertisement for the township's 2026 Road Maintenance Project and approved a culvert replacement on Riemer Road during its April 13 meeting.
Chair Lois Rankin moved to ratify advertisement of the 2026 Road Maintenance Project listing Becker Road (with fiber), Burtner Road (fog seal), Blakely Road (mill & fill only) and other roads and treatments. The motion carried. The advertisement formalizes the township's plan to seek bids for multiple roads and preservation treatments for the 2026 season.
Supervisor Ford Stepp outlined roadwork and maintenance activity, noting "Winter maintenance, approximately 88 tons of salt was used for the month of March" and that crews had repaired signs, cleared catch basins, removed snow fence, and applied a temporary steel plate on O'Hara bridge after a large hole opened.
Separately, the board approved the installation of a 71" x 47" aluminized arch pipe culvert on Riemer Road after reviewing quotes and engineering requirements. The board also approved Gateway Engineering to prepare and submit the GP-7 permit to the Butler County Conservation District for the culvert replacement. The motions were moved by Ford Stepp and seconded by Braden Beblo and carried unanimously.
The board asked staff to produce bid documents and continue coordination with PennDOT and consultants to finalize the 2026 road maintenance schedule.
