Council approves $30,000 design amendment for Buck Road–Glenwood Road intersection to accommodate adjacent development
Summary
Council adopted ordinance 2025-83 to amend the design agreement with Bergman/Colliers, adding roughly $30,000 in design work to accommodate additional right-of-way and an expanding neighboring business; council declared an emergency to expedite the amendment.
Rossford City Council on Oct. 13 approved an amendment to the city’s design agreement for the Buck Road and Glenwood Road intersection improvements. The amendment authorizes an additional payment of about $30,000 to Bergman (doing business as Colliers) to complete design work and right-of-way tasks related to recent development interest on both sides of the planned roundabout.
Why it matters: Staff said the additional design work is necessary to address new right-of-way and design tasks after an adjacent property owner (Kwik Trip) located a business on one corner and the opposite parcel indicated plans to expand. The amendment is framed as preparatory design work to ensure the intersection design accommodates business growth and minimizes the need for re-design during construction.
Council action: Council suspended the second and third readings, declared an emergency and adopted ordinance 2025-83 by roll-call vote. Staff and council said the measure funds additional engineering tasks that will carry the design through to the bid/build phase.
Ending: Staff noted the original agreement dates to earlier design phases and that Bergman/Colliers will proceed with the additional tasks once the amendment is executed.
