Board awards $524,900 contract for Hillside Avenue drainage improvements

The Middletown Township Board of Supervisors on Sept. 14 approved a $524,900 award to Mayfield Site Contractors, Inc. for the Hillside Avenue Drainage Improvements Project. Township engineer Mr. Kessler told the board the project addresses long‑running stormwater and flooding issues on Hillside Avenue near the Neshaminy Creek and includes roadway regrading and installation of new storm drains, with construction proposed entirely within the public right‑of‑way.

Kessler said five bids were received on Aug. 19 and the low bidder met all bid package requirements; staff recommended awarding the base bid and Alternate 1 (roadway improvements near Knoll Avenue). The board moved and approved the award 5‑0. Staff indicated the project is funded through designated stormwater funds in the current budget and will proceed with coordination and scheduling with residents.
