Bensalem Township Council Meeting - March 23, 2026

The Bensalem Township Council meeting held on March 23, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on local construction and development projects. The council approved amendments to the Responsible Contractor Ordinance (RCO), which raised the standards for contractor workforce qualifications, including apprenticeship and OSHA safety training requirements. This ordinance aims to ensure that contractors on township projects employ a highly skilled and safety-trained workforce, reflecting input from building trades and contractors. Additionally, the council approved a land development extension agreement for Gibson Holdings LLC to complete remaining work on a five-house subdivision at 1515 Gibson Road, extending the deadline to July 22, 2026. The meeting also included routine approvals such as mayoral appointments to the Code Appeals Board and general public comments, but no other significant procurement actions were noted.
