Council approves Cronin contract for PRP improvements and several change orders

Council voted to accept the bid from Cronin Enterprises (civil and rail division, LLC) in the amount of $342,550 for PRP improvements (contract 26-SW1-2026). The public-works representative moved the award, and the roll-call vote approved the contract. Council also approved change orders for various contracts—one increase of $68,588.26 for a public-walkway grant-funded project with Liberoni Incorporated to align the work with the grant scope, and other final adjustments to roadway contracts.

Solicitor Korbel explained that the increased change order reflected work that had been discussed in the grant but not included in the earlier bid; the funding agency reviewed and approved the expanded scope so the borough can expend all grant funds. Council recorded roll-call approvals for the awards and change orders.
