Springettsbury approves traffic-signal purchases and awards pavement-marking contract

The Springettsbury Township Board of Supervisors authorized several traffic-infrastructure agreements and purchases during its meeting, including easement authorization, purchases of traffic-signal equipment, and a multi-municipal pavement-marking contract.

The board moved to authorize execution of a traffic-signal easement agreement needed for an upcoming signal project at the Eastern Boulevard/Northern Way intersection. It also approved purchases of traffic-signal equipment from Armor and Sons Electric Inc. under CoStars contract 016-018: one authorization for the Eastern Boulevard/Kingston Road intersection in an amount "not to exceed $104,453," and a second authorization for the Eastern Boulevard/Northern Way intersection with an amount stated in the meeting transcript (meeting text shows a figure presented as "not to exceed 107,000 doll $212"). Both purchases were moved, seconded and approved.

The board also authorized award of the multi-municipal 2024–2025 traffic line painting and pavement-marking contract to Alpha Space Control LLC, with a grand total listed at $232,945.50 and Springettsbury’s share reported as $20,073.50. Board members discussed responsibility for longitudinal lines (township) versus horizontal markings on state roads, and confirmed Alpha Space Control has prior experience on this contract.

All motions on these items carried with affirmative board votes. The township manager and staff noted CoStars contract 016-018 as the procurement vehicle and explained that some markings fall under state-road responsibilities while others are township maintenance.

Next steps include executing the easement and vendor contracts and scheduling work with the vendor and PennDOT where state-road markings are involved.
