Council authorizes bidding for South Huntington Street bridge; ODOT grant to cover 95%
Summary
Council approved moving forward to bid the South Huntington Street bridge replacement (engineer's estimate $1.65 million) and staff said an ODOT municipal bridge program grant will cover roughly $1.57 million; the city must resolve an untitled riverbed parcel through a quiet-title action before completing the project.
Medina City Council authorized staff to proceed to bid for the South Huntington Street bridge replacement, citing an engineer's estimate of $1.65 million.
City staff told council the city received a grant through the Ohio Department of Transportation's municipal bridge program that will cover about 95% of the engineer's estimate (approximately $1.57 million). City staff also confirmed the city paid 100% of the engineering and design costs to date and has secured most required easements.
Patrick explained that one parcel in the project footprint is an untitled riverbed stretching back to early records; staff said the city will need to survey that parcel, estimate its value and present the council with legislation authorizing a quiet-title action and the deposit of funds with the common pleas court so the title can be secured and the project proceed.
Council moved, seconded and approved bidding the project. Staff will return with ordinance language to authorize quiet-title proceedings and an appropriation if needed before construction.
