Lowellville votes to award 2nd Street paving contract, will seek OPWC scope change
Summary
At a Sept. 18 special meeting, Lowellville officials approved a not-to-exceed $255,000 award to Lindy Paving for 2nd Street and instructed the administrator to contact OPWC to correct the loan scope after 2nd Street was omitted from the original request.
Lowellville officials voted Sept. 18 to award a paving contract for 2nd Street to Lindy Paving and directed the village administrator to contact the Ohio Public Works Commission to request a change of scope after the street was left off the original loan request.
The motion, moved by Keith McCaughtry and seconded by Bob Coppola, approved a contract for $248,000 with a not-to-exceed cap of $255,000 pending consideration of alternates. The roll call recorded a unanimous yes by members present.
The administrator reported that 2nd Street was omitted from the village’s original OPWC request and noted that a loan previously approved for $248,000 had included 2nd Street; the administrator said the village will contact OPWC to address the omission and seek the necessary change of scope.
The council’s action formally awards the road work to Lindy Paving while making the award contingent on alternate bid items and the village resolving the OPWC scope issue. The motion to award was tabled for no further amendment in the meeting record and passed by roll call.
