County engineer wins bids for countywide chip and orders ecology survey for Pyle South Amherst Road
Summary
The commissioners approved the county engineer’s report and accepted bids awarding a $862,752.10 chip-seal contract to Millway Paving Company and authorized a $220,522.91 ecology survey with TRC for Pyle South Amherst Road; the board also authorized ditch maintenance assessments under Ohio law.
The Lorain County Board of Commissioners accepted the county engineer’s annual report on ditch maintenance and authorized several public‑works contracts and related actions, including a countywide chip-seal contract and an ecology survey required for a federally funded resurfacing project.
On the engineer’s docket, commissioners authorized the auditor to assess owners for ditch maintenance as recommended under Ohio Revised Code §6137.03. The commissioners then approved, by recorded vote, awarding an internal contract to Millway Paving Company Inc. of Holmesville, Ohio, in the amount of $862,752.10 for the 2025 countywide chip and CO program. The award followed a competitive process: five bids were received and the county engineer’s office determined Millway was the most responsive and compliant bidder. Work is to be completed on or before Sept. 15, and participating townships will reimburse the county engineer for work on township roads; the reimbursement estimate cited in the record is $320,940.30.
The board also authorized the county engineer to execute a consulting services agreement with TRC in the amount of $220,522.91 for a Level 1 ecology survey associated with resurfacing Pyle South Amherst Road. The transcript says the project—from State Route 511 to the village of South Amherst—was selected to receive federal highway funding in fiscal year 2026 and that ODOT determined stormwater discharge into a nearby drainage course requires the ecology services. Commissioners voted to approve these engineer items unanimously.
What was decided: Approval of ditch assessments recommendation, award of the 2025 countywide chip/CO contract to Millway Paving for $862,752.10, authorization to issue a notice to proceed upon contract execution and an estimated township reimbursement of $320,940.30, and authorization for a $220,522.91 ecology survey contract with TRC to support a federally funded resurfacing project.
Implementation notes: The chip/CO project is scheduled to finish by Sept. 15; the ecology survey is tied to federal funding and ODOT’s stormwater requirements. The transcript records the engineer’s statements and the commissioners’ approvals; no substantive debate or amendments to the contracts are recorded.
