Rossford council advances Buck Glenwood roundabout contract amendment, adopts appropriation ordinance and OKs June casino run
Summary
Council amended the Buck Glenwood roundabout contract to move the award to the next lowest bidder after ODOT disqualified the apparent low bidder, adopted supplemental appropriation ordinance 2026‑24 the same night, and approved a June 12 casino run permit.
At its March 23 meeting Rossford City Council addressed several agenda items: it amended the contract award for the Buck Glenwood Roundabout Project after the apparent low bidder was disqualified, adopted an appropriation ordinance for a site plan review, and approved a permit for a June 12 casino run.
During the second reading of Ordinance 2026‑23 (Buck Glenwood Roundabout Project, OP117851), council was informed that ODOT disqualified the apparent low bidder, Zyler, for failing to meet small‑business (SB) goals. Administrator Allison Murray moved to amend the ordinance to award the contract to the next lowest bidder, Vernon Nagel, at $3,078,129.82. Council moved, seconded and voted in favor of the amendment and asked that it proceed to a third reading.
The council also introduced Ordinance 2026‑24, an amendment to supplemental appropriation number four for 2026, to appropriate funds for a site plan review in the Orange Tip district. Council voted to suspend the remaining readings and adopt the ordinance that evening; a roll call recorded all present council members voting in favor.
Separately, council approved a permit for a casino run scheduled for June 12 from about 7:50 to 8:50 p.m.; the route will start and finish at the casino and use side streets around the roundabout construction zone, with enforcement consistent with prior runs.
Committee reports preceding the votes reviewed public safety, parks and facilities matters, including planned angled parking near the high school tied to roundabout work and infrastructure updates. Council did not record final contract award execution at the meeting; the amendment to Ordinance 2026‑23 was advanced for additional reading and formal adoption steps.
Actions recorded in the meeting minutes include the amendment to Ordinance 2026‑23 to list Vernon Nagel as the contractor at $3,078,129.82 and the adoption of Ordinance 2026‑24 that same evening.
