Harrison awards annual road project to Tresco Paving, 15 streets to be repaved

The lowest bid for Harrison’s 2021 road paving project came in about 12% less than township officials expected the project to cost.

With a price of a little more than $377,000, Tresco Paving was the lowest of 11 bidders for the work to mill and resurface 15 roads in the township.

The township had expected the project to cost about $430,000.

“This is a pretty good bid,” township Manager Rich Hill said during a commissioners meeting Monday.

Eight of the other 10 bids were more than $400,000. The highest bid of about $473,000 was about 25% more than Tresco’s cost.

Harrison commissioners voted Monday to award the contract to Tresco.

When the work will be done is not yet known.
