Lawrence County commissioners voted April 14 to award a Community Development Block Grant-funded street-improvement contract for Rich Avenue in Mahoning Township.
Planning staff reported three bids were received for the FY2024 CDBG street project and identified Protect Gr Asphalt as the lowest qualified bidder. The county, which administers the CDBG funds for non-entitlement areas, forwarded bid documents to Mahoning Township’s engineer for review; staff said the engineer approved the bidder and bid documents.
"Protect Gr Asphalt was the lowest qualified bidder from all three responses that we received," the planning director said. The project will use county-administered federal CDBG dollars to improve a township-owned and maintained road.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the contract award by roll call. Staff indicated the award allows the county to proceed with contractor coordination and project scheduling under the federal CDBG program and local engineer oversight.
The board recorded its approval in the meeting minutes and will provide further public details on contract execution and timing as procurement steps continue.
