Arcanum council recommends Shinn Brothers for South High Street reconstruction
Summary
On Jan. 13, 2026 the Village of Arcanum council unanimously voted to recommend that Darke County Commissioners award the South High Street Reconstruction Project to Shinn Brothers after reviewing submitted bids.
The Village of Arcanum council on Jan. 13 unanimously recommended that the South High Street Reconstruction Project be awarded to Shinn Brothers and asked that the Darke County Commissioners make the final award.
Council Member David Hartley moved to forward the recommendation and Council Member Ryan Burns seconded; all five council members present voted yea. The recommendation follows a council review of bids for the project, during which the record referenced an M&T bid and identified Shinn Brothers as the "lowest and best" bidder for the work. The minutes do not provide the dollar amounts of the bids or a construction timetable.
The county, not the village, is the awarding authority for this project; the council's action at this meeting was a formal recommendation to the Darke County Commissioners. The record does not specify the expected start date for construction or required county approvals. The council did not record any dissenting votes or conditions attached to the recommendation.
Next steps: the Darke County Commissioners will review the recommendation and issue a formal award and contract. Funding sources for the project were not specified in the council minutes.
