Board of Control approves street-tree contract and multiple city requisitions
Summary
The Euclid Board of Control voted to award a $198,891 contract for the 2025 citywide street tree removal program and approved a series of requisitions for public safety software, wastewater monitoring, street maintenance and a $3 invoice adjustment tied to a state fee change.
The Euclid Board of Control on Monday approved a $198,891 contract award for the 2025 citywide street tree removal program and a package of city requisitions covering public safety software, wastewater monitoring equipment, streetlight infrastructure and a small invoice adjustment related to a state fee change.
Director Grogan Meyers, who presented the lowest-bid recommendation after the urban forester’s tabulation, said sealed bids received Sept. 8 produced four responses and recommended Van Curen Services Inc. for the street-tree contract, listing the company address as 10555 Kinsman Road, Newberry, Ohio 44065. "After review of the bids, references and bid tabulation summary from the urban forester, my recommendation is that the contract be awarded to Van Curen Services Inc. in the amount of $198,891," she said.
The board approved the award by voice vote after a motion to award the contract was made and seconded.
Finance staff presented a series of requisitions that the board approved by voice vote. Chief Womack explained that a $9,528.84 requisition to Aladtec Incorporated is for the fire department’s scheduling software, and a $17,850 request to Chagrin Valley Dispatch covers run-report software for EMS and fire reports. A $6,905 requisition to Ohio Alcohol Monitoring Systems was identified as payment for GPS monitoring for court-ordered monitoring in August.
The board approved a $6,600 requisition to Thomas Fence Company for a fence at the end of Lloyd Road intended to keep people off the outfall; Director Knegt said Thomas was the lowest and best bidder for that work. Two separate requisitions to Micrometer Incorporated were approved from the Wastewater Treatment Fund: $15,063.75 for loggers and an FS data subscription to monitor combined sewer overflows numbered 3028 and 3033, and $15,713.45 for the annual FS data partnership renewal to monitor CSOs and SSOs in the city.
A $14,056 requisition to Amaresco Incorporated was approved for additional streetlight poles and concrete bases associated with an existing grant scope. The board also approved an exceeds requisition for Lancaster Acquisitions for an additional $3 from the general fund; Director Knegt said the state of Ohio increased the temporary-tag fee by $3 after the bid was approved, which produced the invoice adjustment.
The meeting opened with roll call and a motion to excuse Councilman Wotilla, which the board approved, and concluded after the board approved minutes from the Sept. 15 meeting and adjourned. No contested or dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript; approvals were recorded as voice votes.
The board did not reference any specific statutes or ordinance numbers during the meeting. Follow-up items include procurement records for the tree-removal contract and vendor invoices for the requisitions.
