Council authorizes city manager to award 2025 paving contract to Cox Paving LLC
Summary
Council approved Resolution R17-2025 authorizing the city manager to award a contract to Cox Paving LLC for the 2025 street and alley paving program; council previously received a committee report noting Cox’s low bid of approximately $387,000.
The Washington Court House City Council approved Resolution R17-2025, authorizing City Manager Joseph J. Dennen to award a contract to Cox Paving LLC for the 2025 street and alley paving program.
The service, safety and recreation committee had reported that Cox Paving was the successful bidder with a bid “not to exceed $387,000 and change” for the municipal paving program. Council voted on the resolution by roll call and recorded affirmative votes from the members present; no 'no' votes appear in the transcript.
Council discussion referenced coordination challenges between the city’s paving schedule and utility work by a gas company, which staff said they will try to resolve to avoid repaving streets shortly before utilities excavate them. City staff also said the city will work with the railroad to improve rail crossings on South Fayette Street and South Main Street ahead of paving.
The resolution authorizes the city manager to execute the contract; the transcript did not include the full contract document or the company’s full legal name beyond the resolution language. The committee record and council discussion also mentioned related service-department work such as catch-basin installation, sewer-line repair, pedestrian ramp ADA improvements on Market Street and valve exercises in the water system.
Action summary: Resolution R17-2025 — authorize city manager to award contract to Cox Paving LLC for the 2025 street and alley paving program (bid not to exceed approximately $387,000) — outcome: approved by roll call.
