Huron County approves two bridge design-build contracts with R&I Construction
Summary
The Huron County commissioners voted Sept. 16 to enter contracts with R&I Construction for the Chenango Road and Vesta Road bridge replacement design-build projects, combining previously awarded bids totaling $2,941,001; Huron County Engineer Lee Tansey said both are scheduled for 2026 with about 95% federal funding.
Huron County approved contracts with R&I Construction, Inc. on Sept. 16 to complete two bridge replacement design-build projects: Chenango Road (PID 113811) and Vesta Road (PID 113802).
Lee Tansey, Huron County Engineer, said the Chenango Road project had a previously awarded bid of $1,961,001 and the Vesta Road project had a bid of $980,000. "This is a 2026 project with 95% federal funding," Tansey said regarding the schedule and funding for the projects. The board recorded aye votes from both Commissioners Harry Brady and Tom Dunlap on the motions to enter the contracts.
The contracts were approved by motion and roll-call vote. The resolutions incorporate the formal language that the actions were taken in meetings open to the public in compliance with Ohio law. The board did not attach additional conditions in the meeting record.
The approval follows an earlier bid-award process (referenced in the meeting materials) and transfers next steps to the Huron County Engineer’s office for coordination of construction and compliance with funding requirements. No further schedule or start-date details were given in the public record at the Sept. 16 session.
