Council committees call for contract with low bidder for 2025 street resurfacing; new paver delivered
Summary
The streets committee voted to call for legislation to enter contract with Barbicus Construction for 2025 street resurfacing and reported that the city paver purchased last week was delivered.
The city’s streets, sidewalk and lighting committee on Monday called for legislation to contract with Barbicus Construction Company to perform the asphalt paving portion of the 2025 street resurfacing program and reported the city’s newly purchased paver was delivered.
The service director requested legislation to enter a contract with Barbicus Construction for the asphalt portion of the program; the committee moved, seconded and recorded “Aye” votes to call the legislation. Chair Beck said the contractor had already toured Barberton and indicated readiness to begin once the contract is finalized and the engineer reconciles bid pricing.
Why it matters: The contract will determine which streets receive resurfacing this year; council members noted that the tentative lists become final only after a contract is approved. Committee members asked for the final list of streets to be shared with council once the contract and press release are ready.
Paver delivery: Committee members also reported that the new paver the council voted to purchase last week was delivered this week. Staff said the paver will help the city perform cutouts and local resurfacing work but that operating it requires trained crew and supporting equipment.
Next steps: The committee advanced the contract ordinance to full council for formal vote. Staff said a press release and a finalized street list will be distributed once the contract is executed and details are confirmed by the city engineer.
