Orrville authorizes bids for East Hostetler concrete replacement and culvert repair
Summary
Council approved Resolution 31-24 to advertise for bids and enter contracts for the East Hostetler Concrete Replacement and Culvert Bridge Repair Project, a heavily used route between National Pattern and Quality Castings; the council adopted the resolution as an emergency to begin the bidding process as weather allows.
Orrville — The Orrville City Council on Oct. 7 adopted Resolution 31-24, authorizing the Board of Control to advertise for bids and enter into contracts for the East Hostetler Concrete Replacement and Culvert Bridge Repair Project.
Staff said the project covers the last planned road-repair location for the year on a stretch heavily used by National Pattern and Quality Castings. Because contractors prefer late-season work windows, staff requested authorization to move forward with bidding now and, weather permitting, carry out work around Thanksgiving. Council suspended rules and adopted the resolution as an emergency; Squirrell moved suspension and Shanklin seconded, and the adoption motion passed on a voice vote (all ayes).
Why it matters: The project repairs a frequently traveled industrial connector and is part of the city’s 2024 street program; timing and contractor selection could affect traffic for nearby businesses. The transcript does not provide contract cost estimates or detailed construction schedules.
Next steps: Staff will advertise bids and return with contract proposals and timing details for council approval.
