Moraine to seek legislation to award three 2025 road, curb and storm contracts
Summary
Council approved motions to prepare legislation awarding three 2025 public-works contracts: asphalt paving to Barrett Paving, curb ramps/sidewalks to R A Miller Construction, and curb/road/storm improvements to LJ DeWeese Co. Each award carried a recommended contingency or total amount and passed on voice/roll-call votes.
MORAINE — Moraine City Council’s Committee of the Whole voted to have legislation prepared to award three separate 2025 public-works contracts covering asphalt paving, curb ramps and sidewalks, and curb/road/storm structure repairs.
Public works staff recommended awarding the 2025 asphalt paving program to Barrett Paving Materials Inc. with an accepted bid amount of $654,721.69 and “approving a total of $719,863.86 for a 10% contingency,” the presenter said. Council then moved to have legislation drawn up to enact the award and approved the motion by roll call.
For curb ramps and sidewalks, staff recommended awarding the 2025 curb ramps and sidewalks program on Springboro Pike to R A Miller Construction Co. The accepted bid was $247,758.95 and the presenter recommended approving a total of $272,534.85; council moved to prepare the legislation and approved the motion by roll call.
The 2025 curb, road and storm structure improvements program — described as concrete maintenance, repair and replacement along Springboro Pike, Lance Drive and Schwartz Drive — was recommended for award to LJ DeWeese Co., Inc., with an accepted bid of $772,715 and a recommended total of $849,986.50. Council voted to have legislation prepared for that award as well.
Public-works staff told council the 10% contingency allows the city manager to authorize potential change orders because material and pricing fluctuations have affected past projects; the contingency is intended to allow timely execution without returning to council for routine price adjustments.
All three motions to prepare legislation were approved by roll call. The presentations included route names and neighborhood areas targeted for the work; staff noted tree roots had been displacing sidewalk panels in one neighborhood and that Springboro Pike work coordinates with an anticipated resurfacing by other agencies.
Councilmembers did not request additional studies or delay; the motions were procedural approvals to bring formal ordinances/contract awards to the next council meeting for final action.
