In addition, the proposed project will install new pedestrian crosswalks and sidewalk connections at the intersection. Funding for this project is secured through a Multimodal Transportation Fund grant. All construction inspection services must meet all required guidelines for the use of grant funds for the project. The method of procurement is competitive negotiations. The modified selection method will be used. Whitpain Township encourages responses from small firms, minority firms and firms who have not previously performed work for the Township.

Upon receipt of the approval of the consultants from the Department, the Township will commence negotiations with the top-ranking firm/team.
