Votes at a glance: Council accepts $1.03M bid for Parkwood Drive project; several ordinances and resolutions adopted
Summary
At its Sept. 22 meeting the Wickliffe City Council accepted a low bid of $1,033,906.40 from Breezy Trucking and Paving for the Parkwood Drive and Cary Lane waterline and pavement project and approved several ordinances and a proclamation; the council also suspended rules to advance emergency items to final reading.
The Wickliffe City Council on Sept. 22 took several formal actions, including awarding a public-works contract and adopting emergency and routine legislation.
Key votes
- Parkwood Drive and Cary Lane waterline and pavement improvements: Council accepted the low bid from Breezy Trucking and Paving Company, Inc. for $1,033,906.40 for the OPWC-funded project. The bid was reported as below the engineer's estimate; Lake County Department of Utilities will pay its share of the waterline portion.
- Ordinance 2025-43 (Then-and-Now certificate / Love Insurance Agency): Council suspended the rules and adopted the ordinance authorizing the finance director to execute a then-and-now certificate to pay an invoice to Love Insurance Agency; council treated the item as an emergency and advanced it to final reading.
- Ordinance 2025-44 (2025 appropriations): Council suspended the rules, placed Ordinance 2025-44 on third reading and adopted an ordinance providing appropriations for 2025 operating expenses and declared it an emergency.
- Ordinance 2025-45 (Contract with Breezy Trucking and Paving Company): Council moved the ordinance to third reading and adopted an ordinance authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract with Breezy Trucking and Paving Company for the Parkwood Drive/Cary Lane OPWC project and declared it an emergency.
- Resolution 2025-14 (SUDEP awareness): Council suspended the rules and adopted a resolution proclaiming October 2025 as SUDEP Awareness Month in Wickliffe, following a regional request from neighboring-city officials.
Votes and procedure notes
- The bid award motion was moved and seconded on the record; the roll-call vote recorded unanimous support among council members present. - Several items were placed on third and final reading by suspension of the rules and adopted as emergency measures; recorded roll calls for those items showed affirmative votes.
Why it matters: The Parkwood/Cary Lane contract represents a major capital project paid in part with Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) funds and a county utility contribution; budget appropriations and emergency payments approved at the meeting affect the city's 2025 fiscal operations.
For reference: The council's bid-award and contract ordinance references OPWC project numbers CG44A/CG45A C in the meeting materials.
