Council advances multiple water, storm and street projects on second reading
Summary
Bellefontaine City Council voted on second reading to advance several infrastructure projects — waterline improvements on Harding and Malone avenues, painting and striping, storm drain work on Columbus/Powell, and the 2025 citywide resurfacing — all with emergency declarations.
Council voted on second reading to advance a package of infrastructure ordinances and declared emergencies to allow prompt advertising for bids and contract awards. Items passed on second reading included the Harding Street Waterline Improvements (2024-04-W), the Malone Avenue Waterline Improvements (2024-03-W), the 2025 Street Painting and Striping Project (2025-2R), the Columbus/Powell Storm Improvement Project (2025-2), and the 2025 Citywide Street Resurfacing Project (2025-01R).
Service Safety Director Mister Dodds and council members noted the projects are driven by ongoing maintenance needs and anticipated street/utility work for 2025; roll-call votes for each ordinance were recorded in the meeting record with affirmative responses from the council members present.
The votes on second reading permit the Service Safety Director to seek proposals, advertise for bids, and enter into contracts with selected bidders, subject to the usual procurement and contracting processes. Specific funding sources, bid amounts, and contractor selections were not decided at this meeting.
