Township awards $1.029 million contract for 2025 road improvement program
Summary
Worcester Township awarded the 2025 road improvement contract to Heidelberg Materials Northeast LLC for $1,029,395.60 after receiving five bids; the township engineer said the solicitation opened June 11 and the project will cover Sunnybrook Estates roads with a recommended add‑alternate.
Worcester Township’s board voted June 18 to award the 2025 road improvement contract to Heidelberg Materials Northeast LLC for a total of $1,029,395.60, the township engineer told supervisors.
"The bid solicitation was open on June 11, and we received a total of 5 bids," John Evarts, the township engineer, said, and he recommended awarding the contract to the low responsive bidder. Evarts said the low base bid was $929,378.60 and an add‑alternate of $100,017 produced the $1,029,395.60 total.
Supervisors asked about prior experience with the contractor, escalation clauses and budget impacts. Evarts said there is no escalation clause in the bid documents. Christian Jones, the assistant township manager, said the township estimate for the program was about $1,060,000 and that the program is funded from two sources, including liquid fuels dollars.
Public and board discussion focused on whether to include the add‑alternate items now to complete additional roads in Sunnybrook Estates and on verifying contractor references and inspections. After the discussion Lou Betts moved to award the bid and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Next steps: the township will execute the contract with Heidelberg Materials Northeast LLC and schedule construction work with inspections by Public Works per standard contract documents.
