Committee forwards $156,950 Woodhaven Drive slope-repair contract to full council
Summary
The Public Works Committee on Dec. 9 recommended that city council approve a $156,950 contract with Allen Stone Company to repair a failing slope and leaning utility box on Woodhaven Drive; funding will come from the public works street construction and general fund budget.
The Public Works Committee on Dec. 9 voted to forward to full council a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter a contract for slip remediation on Woodhaven Drive, recommending Allen Stone Company as the contractor.
Mister Bates (role not specified) told the committee the purchasing division opened the project to bid on Oct. 30, 2024, with bids due Dec. 3. "Allen Stone Company of Vincent, Ohio, was the winning bidder at $156,950," he said, noting two higher bids from Benchmark Construction Company ($323,000) and Thaxton Construction Company (reported in the transcript as $1.65–$1.70). He recommended contracting with Allen Stone for the work.
"This is a very difficult repair," Bates said, explaining that "all the utilities are in the ground on the right side of the road" and that a utility box is "leaning, downhill," which increases engineering complexity and the need for stabilization. He said funding for the project will come from the public works street construction and general fund budget.
Miss Walling moved and Mister Jones seconded that the committee forward the resolution (2024-R-129) to full council with a favorable recommendation. The motion carried on an affirmative voice vote. The committee completed its recommendation and identified a sponsor for the council meeting.
The recommendation now goes to the full City Council for final approval and signature by the mayor. The committee did not record any opposing votes or formal abstentions during the meeting.
