Maumee council declares emergency, approves bid for Uptown sanitary sewer rehab (Phase 6)
Summary
Council approved Resolution 001-2026 to accept the bid for Maumee Uptown Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Phase 6, authorize contract and loan execution subject to Ohio EPA loan approval, and declared an emergency to expedite the project.
Maumee City Council voted Jan. 13, 2026, to declare an emergency and approve a resolution accepting the bid for the Maumee Uptown Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Phase 6 project, authorizing award and execution of a contract and related loan, contingent on loan funding approval by the Ohio EPA Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance.
Councilmember Hughey moved the emergency declaration and resolution, saying the action was requested by the capital projects manager to formalize the prior council decision and to satisfy Ohio EPA requirements. The resolution as read authorized the city to accept the bid and proceed with contract and loan documents "subject to approval of loan funding by the Ohio EPA, Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance." The council declared the matter an emergency to expedite processing.
On the roll call for the resolution the council voted unanimously in favor (members present voted yes). The resolution formalizes a previously discussed project phase and allows staff to proceed with contract execution once the Ohio EPA approves loan funding.
Next steps: the contract award and any city execution remain contingent on Ohio EPA loan approval; the council’s emergency declaration enables the city to move more quickly through administrative steps once funding approval is secured.
