Summary

Council advanced Resolution 146-2025 to accept a bid for the community park pool-house demolition after the low bid was found unresponsive. The city will use a reimbursable CCLRC grant of $61,789 with a required 25% local match; $6,700 had already been spent on surveys and assessments.

During new business, staff presented Resolution 146-2025 seeking authority to accept a bid for the community park pool-house demolition. Staff told council the lowest bid was determined unresponsive because of errors and that the second-low bidder, Mountain Enterprises, would be accepted. The project will be funded with a reimbursable grant from the Cuyahoga County Land Reutilization Corporation (CCLRC) in the amount of $61,789, and the city must provide a 25% match. Staff said the city has already spent $6,700 on surveys and assessments to date and emphasized the grant funding required quick action because the funding must be spent before the county’s deadline this season.

Council moved and seconded advancing the resolution; roll-call votes recorded councilmembers (Jordan, Lewis, Nelson, Robinson, Pursuit and others) responding 'yes' as the motion carried. The transcript records the vote verbally during the meeting.

What’s next: Staff will prepare contract documents for the selected bidder and pursue the reimbursable grant reimbursement process with CCLRC.
