Summary
Mansfield approved Bill 26-031 allowing the public works director to contract for resurfacing 5.75 miles of State Route 13; project total $2,000,000 with ODOT providing $1,250,000 and the city $750,000, construction planned for August–October.
Mansfield City Council approved Bill 26-031 to authorize the public works director to enter into construction contracts for resurfacing 5.75 miles of State Route 13 (between 5th Street and Timmerman Road). The project budget is $2,000,000, with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) funding $1,250,000 and the City of Mansfield covering the remaining $750,000 from resurfacing funds.
City Engineer Bob Bianchi told the council the measure follows prior council authorization to enter an ODOT agreement and now permits the city to proceed with construction contracting. Bianchi said construction is scheduled for the upcoming fall, roughly August through October, and that traffic will be maintained along the corridor during work.
Council moved to waive further readings and placed the bill on the floor for final passage; the ordinance passed 7–0. The transcript identifies the project by PID 112693 and RIC-SR0013-15.97. The council did not discuss additional local matching sources beyond the city’s resurfacing budget in the recorded remarks.
The public works department will oversee bidding and construction oversight under the authorization granted.
