Council awards TIA‑funded roundabout contract; staff to set construction schedule
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2610 to award the Woodlon Drive/Claxton Derry Road roundabout project to the low bidder (Total Earth Services LLC). Staff said the project is 100% TIA‑funded, is expected to take about 12 months, and will cause intermittent traffic interruptions; the bid amount as read during the meeting was garbled in the transcript and requires verification.
The Dublin City Council on Feb. 19 approved Resolution 2610 to award a contract for the Woodlon Drive and Claxton Derry Road roundabout project to the low bidder, identified in the meeting as Total Earth Services LLC.
Staff told the council the project has completed necessary right‑of‑way acquisitions and easements and was bid publicly; staff recommended award to the low bidder and said the project will be paid entirely with TIA funds. Staff also said the work will require drainage and utility work and estimated the construction duration at roughly 12 months, with intermittent traffic interruptions to be announced as the schedule is finalized.
During presentation staff read a bid figure that appeared garbled in the audio/transcript; the meeting record does not provide a clearly legible dollar amount for the low bid. Council moved and approved the contract award by voice vote. Staff said they will finalize contract documents, set a construction begin date after notice to proceed, and communicate schedule and traffic impacts to the public once available.
Council members noted that the low bidder was significantly lower than the high bidder and that engineers deemed the price favorable. The council approved moving forward with contracting and directed staff to keep the council and public informed about the construction schedule.
