Summary

Public Works Director Mark Bates recommended awarding the Woodhaven Drive slip remediation contract to Allen Stone Company (Vincent, Ohio) for $156,950 after receiving three bids; funding will come from the Public Works Street Construction General Fund Budget.

Mark Bates, Huntington’s public works director, presented a contract recommendation on Dec. 23 to repair a slip on Woodhaven Drive (project date listed as Oct. 30, 2024). Purchasing received three bids: Allen Stone Company of Vincent, Ohio ($156,950); Benchmark Construction Company of Hurricane, West Virginia ($323,000); and Thaxton Construction Company of Charleston (amount unclear in the transcript). Bates recommended contracting with Allen Stone for $156,950, with funding from the Public Works Street Construction General Fund Budget.

Bates said the bid is for construction of a pile and lagging wall along Woodhaven Drive and that the parcels described earlier in the meeting were roadway or right-of-way rather than occupied structures. He invited questions from council; none were recorded in the transcript.

The resolution presented seeks council authorization for the mayor to enter into the contract; the transcript records the recommendation and the bid amounts as presented but does not include a formal recorded vote.
