Tipp City Council on Jan. 5 introduced a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into a contract with Koch Construction LLC of West Elm, Ohio, for replacement of an existing 4-inch water main with a new 8-inch main. The contract amount stated in the transcript is $234,295.

The item was described by staff as part of the city's water-main replacement projects. Council opened the public hearing for the resolution; the transcript records that no members of the public came forward to comment in the provided segment and does not show a final vote on the contract during the recorded portion of the meeting.

The contract and bids were described as having been opened previously (the transcript references a public opening date), and council requested sponsorship and comment before opening the hearing.
