The Delaware County Redevelopment Commission approved May 8 a motion to adopt milling quotes from vendor EOB for Station Road work, to be used "on an as‑needed basis," county staff said.

Staff recommended EOB after comparing bids; EOB was lower on most line items except for a longer distance that required holding millings. Staff noted the commission's earlier preference to outsource milling while performing painting in‑house; if a vendor performs the entire road, staff said the vendor would be responsible for milling. The highway representative cautioned the county does not have capacity to perform certain specialized signal loop work and that leaving millings in place too long before paving could cause softening and crew challenges.

Commissioner Keesling moved to remove the item from the table; the motion to adopt EOB's milling quote was seconded and approved by roll call. Commissioners asked staff to coordinate timing so paving and milling are sequenced to avoid rework.

Why it matters: Adopting a vendor contract for milling defines which contractor will supply millings and affects scheduling and liability around traffic signal loop installation on Station Road.
