Loading...
Summary
The Norton Board of Control voted April 20 to award a $1.21 million contract to Northstar Asphalt to resurface Greenwich Road from the Medina line to Cleveland-Massillon Road and separately awarded inspection services to Environmental Design Group; members discussed AMATS funding and coordination with nearby ODOT projects.
The Norton Board of Control voted April 20 to award the Greenwich Road resurfacing project, from the Medina line to Cleveland-Massillon Road, to Northstar Asphalt for an amount not to exceed $1,209,861.40.
Board members and staff discussed funding and project coordination before the vote. Staff told the board the project is an AMATS-funded undertaking and that the city received four engineering bids; reviewers recommended Environmental Design Group (EDG) as the engineering firm. One council member asked how the city would coordinate timing with nearby ODOT work and with another resurfacing project on State Route 261. A staff member said the city could not control ODOT’s schedule and that the two projects might run in parallel, which could create traffic impacts for local motorists.
The board also voted to award inspection services for the Greenwich Road work to Environmental Design Group in an amount not to exceed $99,388. The motion language in the meeting record included slightly different numeric formatting for the inspection amount; the record shows the inspection award motion as presented and approved during the meeting.
The motion to award the resurfacing contract was moved and seconded and approved by roll call with the members present voting yes. The inspection award motion was likewise moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
Why it matters: Greenwich Road is a primary corridor connecting Norton to neighboring jurisdictions; the project’s timing and coordination with ODOT work affect local traffic patterns and detour planning. The board’s approvals set the contract and inspection arrangements in motion, though actual construction timing will depend on grant funding release and ODOT scheduling.
The board did not set specific start dates during the meeting; staff said some funding will not be released until the fiscal year change, and ODOT scheduling will influence when both projects proceed.
