Council committee selects design firm for East Smith Road reconstruction with $530,000 OPWC award
Summary
City recommended Uthenx Inc. (UTHENICS in transcript) to design East Smith Road reconstruction between South Jefferson and South Harmony; the project carries a $530,000 award from Ohio Public Works Commission.
The finance committee approved staff’s recommendation to select Uthenx Inc. (transcript: "UTHENICS") as the design consultant for East Smith Road reconstruction, a project supported by a $530,000 Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) award.
Patrick, presenting the item, said the project covers East Smith Road between South Jefferson and South Harmony and that the city followed a design selection process. "We awarded $530,000 from Ohio Public Works for the project," he said, and recommended Uthenx Inc. from Strongsville based on prior successful work for the city.
A committee member asked whether the project includes road widening; Patrick replied that intersections will be widened but the through-travel lanes generally will not be. The committee voted by voice; "All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries." Staff will finalize the design agreement and begin design work under the awarded OPWC funds.
Action: Finance committee approved proceeding with Uthenx Inc. for design and directed staff to finalize the agreement. The committee record shows a voice vote; no roll-call tally recorded in the committee segment.
