Staff recommended awarding the base bid plus Alternate 2 (South Vernon Street), the police parking lot (Alternate 3) and an asphalt rejuvenation alternate (Alternate 5) and asked services to communicate that recommendation to council for amendment of the ordinance price.

The recommendation matters because staff said the base bid plus the recommended alternates would change the amount included in the ordinance drafted by legal. Staff cited two cost figures during the presentation: a yellow-highlighted recommended total of $1,890,000 for the base bid plus Alternates 2, 3 and 5 (with a recommended contingency) and an adjusted matrix total of $1,983,000 that staff asked be reflected in council materials. \"If we were awarded, they could start as early as late June,\" Staff member said about the apparent low bidder. Staff also said Decker has capacity to put a schedule together quickly if the award is confirmed.

Nut graf: The committee heard detailed explanations of five alternates and pavement-preservation technology (asphalt rejuvenator). Staff characterized the rejuvenator as a lower-cost, shorter-impact treatment that can extend pavement life and recommended it as part of a preservation strategy; committee members voiced support to pass the recommendation to council so work could begin quickly if council agrees.

Decker, Kemcoach and Strawser were the three bidders shown in the packet. Staff said the base bid covers most streets and the Columbus Street parking lot; storm catch basin repairs previously deferred were included in the base this year. Staff described Alternate 1 (Arbor Drive) as a marginal candidate with a PACER rating of 4 and recommended deferring it. Alternate 4 (West Sedgwick) is a gravel cemetery road whose bid came in well above the engineer's estimate because of uncertain soil conditions; staff recommended leaving it gravel and performing preventative maintenance in-house.

On rejuvenation, staff explained the product (presented under the trade names cited during the presentation) as a liquid surface treatment with a light sand broadcast that seals and replenishes oils in asphalt. Staff said typical benefits include a visible short-term coating, limited traffic restrictions (45 minutes to an hour before normal traffic), and a sweep of residual sand within one to three days. \"It's like putting lotion on top of the road,\" Staff member said. Staff cited cost comparisons prepared for the committee: the rejuvenator can add roughly five years to pavement life in some cases and can be a low-cost complement to mill-and-fill programs; one presenter'supplied example estimated that one mile of mill-and-fill equates cost-wise to applying rejuvenator on about 12 lane miles.

Discussion points included how the rejuvenator affects pavement striping (it can dull paint for a few weeks), which streets are appropriate candidates (best on relatively newer streets with minimal cracking), and whether it is worthwhile on low-traffic versus high-traffic streets. Committee members emphasized the idea of pavement preservation as a data-driven tool and asked staff to include the rejuvenator in a future pavement-management cost-benefit analysis.

Staff asked services to tell council that the staff recommendation is to add Alternates 2, 3 and 5 to the base award and to amend the ordinance to reflect the adjusted total shown in staff materials. Committee members verbally seconded and stated their support during the discussion but the transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote by the committee on that recommendation.

Ending: Staff said legal drafted the council ordinance with only the base bid amount and that an amendment would be needed if council approves the larger package. Staff also noted typical construction contingencies and recommended a small contingency line in the award. The item was scheduled for first reading at council that evening.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Services Committee 6/4/25","oneSentenceSummary","Staff presented bid results for Sunbury City's 2025 streets program and said Decker Construction was the apparent low bidder for the base bid and all combinations of alternates.

Staff said the city's technical guidelines favor underground directional boring in the tree-lawn or utility easement and that the city will require full-time inspection at first to ensure correct installation and restoration.

Nut graf: The installations are private broadband builds (not a city-operated retail service). Staff said providers will be responsible for resident outreach and will supply a customer-contact person; the city will perform inspections to confirm trench restoration and long-term settlement maintenance.

Staff said providers identified in the meeting materials as UltaFiber and Bridal Speed (names provided in the materials) have multiple permit applications pending; one provider had approximately 10 neighborhood applications and hoped to begin in June. Staff told the committee the typical neighborhood installation takes one to three weeks and that providers will drop door-hanger notices and provide a local contact number for residents.

Staff emphasized the dual role: the provider handles customer service and scheduling while the city inspects construction quality and neighborhood restoration. \"They do the outreach, the community outreach, ... there is a customer service representative that a resident can call at any given time that's not the city to basically do the follow-up work,\" a committee member relayed from staff's description. Staff said the presence of multiple providers will increase competition for residents' internet service choices.

Ending: Staff said the city will share schedules as providers finalize neighborhood plans and will post inspection expectations for residents.","Committee heard that two private providers have large-scale fiber-to-the-home permit applications and hope to begin neighborhood installs in June; the city plans full-time inspection initially and said providers will do resident outreach and designate customer contacts.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6212788,"Wastewater treatment plant mobilization underway; city to coordinate with schools on site impacts",272,2153000,2425000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3683356-1208bb1bbc02ddb5e0a6eaaaa45f1fea&start=2153&end=2425","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3683356-1208bb1bbc02ddb5e0a6eaaaa45f1fea/thumbnail_2153000.jpg","/articles/6212788/Ohio/Wastewater-treatment-plant-mobilization-underway-city-to-coordinate-with-schools-on-site-impacts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212788-8b1ec338497f038c1045641013c225a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1773575694&Signature=KlGc~YDPeJ-lobYpcm3W-GStsPYy4LOuXVZVU72PzG~akPQ7zQXaejSMHieqIVTCYBhDAbsIKOp~BahKTJNIP1c7VqKAhLa1eoXha-b2FfvETCxZL96O4zyHl9OAU2a-kuwn6tcbXz2jA5C3nIfcx8vluYmRJg7m0kSIsoeDVtMIfXsSrNVNGk8yPQkwoSmjYmAylToKdLibKfYLvKcJ5nVwpzH~pIRuvjRwZjDo8DgI9ohMbg7nqwqJo-wvnkb2BVoaGChpomp-Xs0GEf89gOaumtFDkKKbTQD5gVgEz6ZVddW0ROPoke2P0Ob7bUJjH3MG-FQJZjXO68Chzx9T1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Staff reported that mobilization has begun at the wastewater treatment plant site and that contractors are locating utilities and beginning earthwork in the area between the school and the plant. Staff said some excavation spoils will be staged near the school and that fenced-off areas and water-line relocation work will be present; staff emphasized there is no intent to work on school property but said the staging may make the area appear active to observers.

Nut graf: The project is active but will proceed in phases; staff plans regular progress meetings (every three to four weeks) and will invite a school representative to a future meeting so the district understands footing, access and landscaping plans.

Staff said larger excavations will generate mounding and fenced staging areas as tanks and concrete work begin, and that final landscaping will include grading and tree planting. Staff said they will share photos and schedule updates in staff reports to address community questions about visual impacts.

Ending: Staff described the sequence as ongoing earthwork with visible mounding to be redistributed during final landscaping; more detailed notices and progress reports will follow.","Staff said mobilization has started at Sunbury's wastewater treatment plant project, with utility location and earthwork staged between the school and plant.

The city notified residents that staff would reevaluate compaction testing in two to three weeks before scheduling paving. Staff said if the streets contract award moves forward to Decker Construction, Decker likely would perform the Walnut Street paving as part of its near-term work schedule.

Nut graf: The delay stems from soil compaction and weather, not a stoppage of work; staff asked residents for patience while re-testing and final scheduling occur.

Staff described remaining items as a paving operation followed by striping and possible guardrail or small fencing work where the road edge is tight. Staff noted that opening Walnut Street fully through to Hartford depends on clearing obstacles in the public right-of-way and revising some striping near a senior apartment complex.

Ending: Staff said they will provide schedule updates and photographs in future staff reports so residents understand the sequence of work.","Staff updated the Services Committee that compaction issues and rainy weather have delayed final paving on Walnut Street; test re-evaluation expected in 2'3 weeks and Decker Construction may perform the paving if the streets contract is awarded.","actionData","errors"]
