Greene committees review multiple road projects and resurfacing contracts; low bids and funding sources discussed
Summary
Committees discussed three separate street projects: the 2025 resurfacing contract (apparent low bid $721,769.45), a Graybill Road left-turn lane to serve Green Elementary (second reading), and an amended consent to ODOT resurfacing of Maslin Road (city share and ADA ramp costs discussed). Several items remain on second or third reading and will be scheduled for council action.
Committee meetings on April 8 included multiple street projects and contract reviews across finance and transportation committees. Key items discussed included:
- 2025 resurfacing contract (Resolution 2025-R08): Transportation chair Mister Maker (S1) summarized that the apparent low bid reported in committee totaled $721,769.45 (base bid $646,007.25 plus alternate Comet Lane $75,762.20) and that the bidder listed in the contract packet is Barber Kist Construction Co., Inc. Committee noted this contract covers a subset of the year's resurfacing program while other resurfacing will be done in-house. The committee will bring the item to a future council meeting at the appropriate time.
- Graybill Road turn lane at Green Elementary (Resolution 2025-R12): Committee discussed a second-reading resolution awarding a contract (listed in the packet as Barbicus Construction Company Inc.) to add a westbound left-turn lane into the new school campus. Mr. Pickett (S7) described limited pavement widening, drainage work, a probable mid-June start and completion before the first week of August, a 10% contingency request (raising authorization to roughly $210,004), and $43,003.61 budgeted for construction management services. Funding was identified from the Street Construction Fund (Fund 201). Committee indicated it lacked votes to advance the item this week.
- Maslin Road / SR 241 resurfacing (Resolution 2025-R13, amended): Committee reviewed an amended resolution consenting to ODOT's resurfacing. The committee recorded an estimated city expenditure of about $619,944 for Greene's share, noted that approximately 80% of resurfacing costs are expected to be covered by ODOT while the city will pay about 20%, and that curb ramp/ADA compliance work along the corridor would be a 100% city cost. Committee members asked the administration to provide a clearer local-cost breakdown prior to final council action.
Committee members emphasized timing, coordination with federal funding streams, and attention to specific trouble spots raised by residents (for example subsurface pavement failures near Mayfair Road). Several items are on second or third reading and will return to council for final action.
