OLD BUSINESS:

A. Awarding of the Tar & Chip Contract

At the July 19, 2005 regular scheduled meeting of the Board of Supervisors, a motion was made to award the seal coat bid to Dosch-King Emulsions, Inc. for 70,632 square yards plus or minus of double application bituminous seal coat with E-3M at a unit price of $1.62 sq.yd., a total price of $114,423.84. Work to be completed by September 1, 2005. This motion was conditioned upon an investigation to confirm that all bidders met the requirements and are the lowest responsible bidder. The Board is satisfying this condition with this special meeting tonight which was advertised in The Intelligencer on July 29, 2005 . A motion was made by K. Gross, seconded by H. Gawronski, to rescind the Dosch-King Emulsions, Inc. award of the bid for tar and chip made at the July 19, 2005 Board of Supervisors meeting after an investigation into the qualifications of this bidder and they have proved to fail. Under discussion T.J. commented that he had been directed to investigate and found that as of May 26, 2005 Dosch-King is debarred for the next five years from any PennDOT contracts for any state highway construction and state funded contracts. K. Gross added that one of the bid requirements was to meet with the Township Road Master, which Dosch-King failed to do.

C. Gorman asked the Board to consider extending the timeframe for completion of the road work to PennDOT specifications. The motion carried 4-0-0.
