Council approves $74,980 paving project and split catch‑basin contracts totaling ~$29,419
Summary
Council authorized a paving contract for local streets and approved two contracts to replace failing catch basins and storm piping; the larger catch‑basin program was split into two vendors to cover specific areas.
The Village of East Canton council approved a street paving project totaling $74,980 and approved two contracts to replace failing catch basins and storm sewer piping that together account for the catch‑basin program described in the meeting packet.
Council voted to proceed with the paving project covering South Market Street, Liberty Street, North Worley (selected stretches) and the High/Noble roundabout approaches for a total of $74,980, per the quoted packet amount. The work will address main paving needs and pothole repairs described by public works staff.
Separately, council approved a motion authorizing Administrator Henry Boyle to contract with Feature of Construction LLC to replace catch basins and 15‑inch storm sewer piping at Noble and Worley streets for a price not to exceed $15,750, including the material cost line items discussed in the packet. Council also approved a second motion to contract with Petro Construction LLC to replace miscellaneous catch basins around the village for a price not to exceed $9,425, with village‑supplied pipe priced at $1,838.75. Combined, the bids and material line items match the earlier combined figure presented ($29,419.45) for catch‑basin and pipe replacement in the packet.
Public works staff explained the split approach: some catch basins are complete rebuilds and others are non‑rebuild full replacements where underlying piping had rotted out and school‑season/part‑time staffing limited in‑house completion. Administrator Boyle and staff said the split contracts reflect the scope and urgency of repairs in several locations, including the downtown intersections and segments listed in the packet.
Council moved and seconded the motions and recorded roll‑call approvals for each contract. Comments during the vote emphasized that the paving project is the village's main paving work for the year and that seasonal hot‑patch limits have constrained immediate pothole repairs.
Implementation details: Administrator Boyle is authorized to execute the contracts and supply the village‑provided pipe where noted. Staff said some downtown catch basins that require full rebuilds are not included in these contracts and will be addressed separately.
Council also heard operational updates from the street department, including completion of park restroom roof work and preparation of plows and seasonal equipment.
