Fayette County awards $2.618 million contract for Project Galaxy water and sewer extension
Summary
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 20 voted to award Kelchner, Inc. a $2,618,198.03 contract to extend water and sewer infrastructure under the Project Galaxy initiative; the motion carried on a 2–0 roll call with one commissioner absent.
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners voted Jan. 20 to award Kelchner, Inc. a contract worth $2,618,198.03 to construct the Project Galaxy water and sewer extension.
The contract was approved on a motion by Commissioner Donald L. Fleak and seconded by Commissioner James D. Garland. The board recorded a roll-call vote of Garland, aye; Tony Anderson, absent; Fleak, aye.
The agreement lists Kelchner, Inc., 50 Advanced Drive, Springboro, Ohio 45066, as the contractor. The meeting minutes record the complete contract being on file with the county but do not specify contract start or completion dates, bonding requirements, or the county funding source for the work.
Why it matters: extending water and sewer infrastructure can support residential and commercial development, public health, and future county projects. The transcript does not identify the project’s funding mechanism (for example, whether funds are county capital dollars, grant-supported, or financed through bonds), so the board’s motion leaves the source of payment “not specified.”
Next steps: the minutes state the complete contract is on file; the county will hold the contract documents and any required notices or permitting steps before construction can begin. No public hearing or further board vote on this contract is recorded in the minutes.
