Regulations permit Pa. construction firm’s suspension after criminal charges are filed: PennDOT
Updated May 05, 2021;
Filing of criminal charges is sufficient grounds under Pennsylvania Department of Transportation regulations to suspend a contractor, the agency says.
That was the response received Wednesday when asked why Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. was temporarily suspended from bidding or participating in contracts prior to the resolution of criminal charges against it.
“PennDOT will not comment on the pending criminal prosecution and does not make determinations as to criminal guilt or innocence,” spokesperson Alexis Campbell added.
PennDOT’s April 19 notification to Hawbaker applies to state supervised or funded highway construction work, she said. It does not affect contracts in effect before that date, she said.
A major interchange along Route 322 in Ephrata and West Earl townships will be closed later this month for planned road improvements, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
The Route 322 at Route 222 interchange will be closed from 9 p.m. on May 14 to 6 a.m. on May 17, PennDOT said in a news release. The closure will be rescheduled for the same hours the following weekend if it is impacted by weather.
On-ramps from 322 to northbound and southbound 222 will remain open, PennDOT said.
Motorists traveling east along 322 from west of the interchange who wish to continue east or access northbound 222 should travel south to the Route 772/Brownstown/Rothsville exit, then take northbound 222 to 322 and proceed east, or continue north on 222, PennDOT said. The 9-mile detour takes about 10 minutes to travel.
