Council approves a package of transportation contracts — roundabout design, downtown construction management and intersection work
Summary
Council awarded design and construction management contracts for several transportation projects: DGL for Brent/Haroun roundabout ($231,608), American StructurePoint for downtown construction management ($427,120) and for Harun/Ravine work ($170,436); SilverTowne waterline bid authorization also approved ($945,137 estimate).
At its Jan. 6 meeting, the Sylvania City Council approved a series of transportation contracts and authorized bidding for a waterline/resurfacing project.
For the Brent Road and Haroun Road intersection, the city secured $1 million in CMAQ funds and selected DGL Consulting Engineers for final design work at $231,608; DGL authored the prior 2019 traffic‑calming study and will handle design and subconsultant geotechnical work. Council approved Ordinance No. 72‑025 to accept the proposal and appropriate funds.
Council also moved forward on downtown transportation improvements (phase 1, Monroe to Maplewood). American StructurePoint—familiar to the city for LPA and ODOT work—was awarded construction management services for phase 1 at a cost not to exceed $427,120 (Ordinance No. 8‑2025). Shaw said the contractor, Helms and Sons, is the awarded contractor for the first block and preconstruction work is scheduled for Jan. 15.
For the Harun Road and Ravine Drive intersection improvement (a project with sensitive hospital access), American StructurePoint was again selected for construction management at $170,436 (Ordinance No. 9‑2025); Shaw said full construction activity should pick up in May with most work wrapping by September.
Finally, the council authorized the clerk to advertise for bids for the SilverTowne Drive Water Line Improvement and Resurfacing project (estimated cost $945,137), which will replace an aging 8‑inch water main installed in 1965 and is funded from water account 701.
Each item was approved by voice vote as an emergency measure or authorized by motion as recorded in the meeting minutes.
