Plum paving contract awarded to Oakmont company

Plum officials have tapped an Oakmont-based construction company to pave more than 20 streets and alleys this year.

Council unanimously voted Monday night to award its paving project to A. Folino Construction.

They were the lowest of nine bidders at about $872,500.

The borough budgeted about $900,000 for paving this year.

Assistant borough manager Dave Soboslay said bids were opened Thursday and documents were reviewed by borough engineers.

Streets to be paved include:

Unity

• Allegheny Avenue from Bank to Siple streets.

• Center Street from Siple Street to its end.

• Ruth Street from Center Street to Allegheny Avenue.

• Perry Street from Garlow Boulevard to Allegheny Avenue.

• Siple Street from Leechburg Road to Center Street.

• East Alley from Allegheny Avenue to Perry Street.

• East Alley from Unity Center Road to Allegheny Avenue.

• Taylor Avenue from Allegheny Avenue to Center Street.

• Wood Alley from Allegheny Avenue to Center Street.

Holiday Park

• Cayuga Drive from Abers Creek Road to Alcan Drive.

• Tampico Court from Cayuga Drive to its end.

• Chapparal Drive from Abers Creek Road to Cayuga Drive.

• Greenhaven Court from Chapparal Drive to its end.

• Summerhaven Court from Chapparal Drive to its end.

• Chateau Court from Chapparal Drive to its end.

• Bar Habor Drive from Rainer Drive to its end.

• Blue Ridge Drive from Tahoe Drive to the other intersection of Tahoe Drive.

• Skyline Drive from Blue Ridge Drive to its end.

• Pine Valley Drive from Golden Mile Highway to Tahoe Drive.

East Oakmont

• Lincoln Avenue from Hulton Road to its end.

• Pennsylvania Avenue from Hulton Road to its end.

Paving Demetrio Lane from Logans Ferry Road to its end was added as an alternate to the paving program.

Borough Engineer Robert Mitall said earlier this month that roads are evaluated annually, and these are the ones deemed in need of immediate attention compared to other streets.

He said this year’s program covers about the same number of roads with nearly the same amount of funds as in previous years.

Public works crews are expected to complete storm water repairs, such as improving catch basins, on the aforementioned roads prior to paving.

Paving is projected to begin no later than August, weather permitting, and could take about two months to complete.
