Brimfield trustees approved a paving contract and authorized staff to apply for Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) funding for a separate road-improvement project.

Road Superintendent Dave presented the 2025 paving bid from Cardinal Asphalt for $277,852 and said the package was reviewed by the county engineer's office and was within anticipated price expectations. Trustees approved the bid by roll call: Trustee Nick Coia, Yes; Trustee Mike, Yes; Trustee Sue, Yes.

Dave also asked the trustees to approve a resolution authorizing Trustee Nick Coia to prepare and submit an OPWC application for improvements to Sanctuary View Drive. The board approved the resolution. Dave provided an estimated project cost of $286,349.95 and said the township would seek a 50/50 funding split with OPWC; he emphasized that the application is a competitive request and not a guarantee of funding.

Dave said some work will be phased and that timing will depend on concrete curing and contractor scheduling. He also reported ongoing coordination with the Portage County Engineer's Office for a chip-and-seal project with contractor Rycon.

The trustees recorded the roll-call approvals and directed staff to proceed with the contract paperwork and OPWC application steps.
