Norwich Township approves bid, MOU with Hilliard for Safety Services Building parking‑lot work
Summary
The board approved proceeding with the lowest and best bid through the Franklin County Engineers for phases 2–4 of the Safety Services Building rear parking lot and authorized an MOU with the City of Hilliard to manage cost‑sharing and payment timing.
Norwich Township Board of Trustees on July 1 approved moving forward with the lowest and best bid through the Franklin County Engineers for phases 2, 3 and 4 of rear parking‑lot improvements at the township’s Safety Services Building and authorized a memorandum of understanding with the City of Hilliard to manage cost sharing and payments.
Chairman Greg Young and Trustees Rick Tidd and Sonny Cantrell voted unanimously to approve the motion after Vice Chairman Rick Tidd moved the item and Trustee Cantrell seconded. The board recorded the approvals as Motion Passed #250701.12 (bid approval) and Motion Passed #250701.13 (MOU approval).
Under the MOU approved by the trustees, Norwich will pay the City of Hilliard portions of the 2025 improvements at 100% in 2025 and will receive payments from the city in 2025 and 2026 equal to Norwich’s share as described in the agreement. The minutes state portions of the project costs will be split with the City of Hilliard; the document filed with the board was described as an intergovernmental memorandum of understanding but the minutes do not include the full financial schedule or precise dollar splits.
The board characterized the parking‑lot work as a 2025 capital item. Trustees directed staff to proceed with the procurement through the Franklin County Engineers’ office and to coordinate scheduling and billing with Hilliard; the minutes record no separate timeline for construction beyond the approved procurement approach.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: staff will coordinate final contract execution and payment timing with the City of Hilliard, per the MOU. No construction start date or contractor name was included in the meeting record.
