Council waives bidding, awards parking‑lot work to Geddes Paving while firm is in town
Summary
Rossford City Council adopted ordinance 2025-37 waiving competitive bidding and authorizing a contract with Geddes Paving to pave and undercut the municipal parking lot for police, fire and public works; council adopted the measure as an emergency the same evening.
Rossford City Council on May 12 authorized the city administrator to enter into a contract with Geddes Paving for paving and undercutting of the police, fire and public works parking lot and waived competitive bidding for the work.
City Administrator Allison Lisonbee told council Geddes Paving “is already going to be in town doing improvements on the alleyway and some other work here in Rossford, and they gave us a price to finally do the fire, police, and public works parking lot, which has needed done ever since I've been here.” Council members moved to suspend further readings, declared the ordinance an emergency and adopted it that night after the chair asked if any audience members objected; none did.
The transcript records the rationale for waiving bidding (economy of scale while the contractor is already working locally) but does not record the contract price. The council did not discuss a start date or scope details beyond “paving and undercutting” in the meeting record.
