Covington council authorizes ecological survey contract for Broadway Reconstruction; ODOT will not pay cost
Summary
Council authorized the village administrator to contract with Clune Consulting for a Level 1 Ecological Survey required by ODOT for the Broadway Reconstruction Project; minutes state ODOT will not cover the survey cost and the council approved the contract after waiving three readings.
Covington Village Council approved Resolution R14-25 March 17 authorizing the Village Administrator to contract with Clune Consulting Services to perform a Level 1 Ecological Survey required by the Ohio Department of Transportation for the Broadway Reconstruction Project.
Interim Village Administrator Tim Cline told the council that ODOT is requiring the ecological survey and would not cover any of the associated costs; Cline said proceeding with the survey is necessary for the project to remain on schedule. The council waived the three-reading rule (motion by Jess Reynolds, second by Martin Leistner) and approved the resolution (motion to approve by Amy Welborn, second by Dawn Duff). The minutes record the vote as unanimous ('All ayes').
The minutes do not specify the contract value, the department budget line that will pay for the survey, or a timeline for survey completion. The resolution and minutes identify the contractor as Clune Consulting Services and cite the survey as a Level 1 Ecological Survey required by ODOT.
