Moraine committee moves to prepare legislation to award Ketering Boulevard repaving contract to Barrett Paving Materials

At a meeting of the Moraine City Council committee of the whole, councilors voted unanimously to prepare legislation to award the Ketering Boulevard improvement project (PID16879) to Barrett Paving Materials Inc. Staff reported an accepted bid of $1,129,626 and requested approval for a total project authorization of $1,242,588.60; staff said roughly 98.1% of the project will be paid for with outside funds and grants through ODOT and the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC).

City staff described the work as a full-depth repair and repaving of Ketering Boulevard within city limits with associated storm drainage improvements. Staff told council the bids came in below the expected budget and that Barrett Paving, a local firm that has performed work for the city in the past, submitted the successful low bid.

Council made a motion to have legislation drafted and forwarded to the next meeting for formal award; the committee recorded a roll-call vote in which all present members voted yes. The motion and vote move the item into the formal legislation and appropriation process, where staff said the city will complete contract documentation and confirm funding sources before bringing a final contract for vote.

Officials identified the major funding sources as the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC); staff said approximately 98.1% is expected to come from those outside funds, with the remaining local share to be covered in the city budget. The city will publish the full bid tabulation and contract documents with the ordinance when legislation is introduced.

Next steps: staff will draft the resolution/ordinance to award PID16879 to Barrett Paving Materials Inc., finalize contract terms and return to council for a formal vote and contract execution.
