Morrow County commissioners hold multiple roadwork bids, approve routine payments and transfers
Summary
At their April 28, 2030 meeting, commissioners approved routine minutes, bills and payments and voted to hold several roadwork bids (chip seal and paving) for engineer review. Multiple paving bids were reported and amounts read into the record.
Morrow County commissioners on April 28, 2030 approved routine business — including minutes, a batch of bills and several payments and transfers — and deferred awarding multiple roadwork contracts so the county engineer can review bids.
The board opened with an invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance before moving through procedural items. Speaker 2 introduced a consent batch of bills numbered 1 through 70, which the board approved by roll call. Commissioners also approved payments and a reimbursement from the Land Bank for an employee wage and authorized a transfer for 911-related funding; those motions passed by unanimous voice/roll call responses recorded in the minutes.
The meeting then addressed roadwork procurement. For the county’s chip seal program, Speaker 2 reported two bids: Mid Ohio at $212,736.33 and 20 20 Enterprises at $172,475.48. Speaker 1 moved to hold those bids for review by the county engineer; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously, leaving award and contract decisions to engineering review.
Commissioners also heard multiple paving bids from other firms. The amounts read into the record included $909,965.75 and $969,986.80 from two bidders and an Ohio Paving bid of $1,003,745.97. After a brief exchange to verify figures, Speaker 1 moved to hold the paving bids pending engineer review; the motion carried by roll call.
