Utilities Committee advances Edgerton Road sanitary sewer award to council
Summary
The Utilities Committee voted July 1 to move Ordinance 25-109 to City Council after staff said a single bid from DiGioia-Suburban came in below estimate; work is expected to begin in early August and take about two months, with resident notices after contract execution.
City Engineer Matthew Glass told the North Royalton Utilities Committee on July 1 that the city received a single bid for the Edgerton Road Sanitary Improvement Project from DiGioia-Suburban and that the bid came in under the city’s estimate. The committee voted to move Ordinance 25-109 to the full City Council for approval (motion by Chair Mary Gorjanc; second Joanne Krejci). The motion carried: Yeas 3; Nays 0.
Glass said only two parties requested plans and ‘‘it’s not a massive sewer job compared to Abbey,’’ arguing that waiting a year risks higher costs from inflation. Mayor Larry Antoskiewicz added that the bid’s coming in under the projected estimate was a positive sign. ‘‘They came in under the estimate,’’ Glass said, and the committee authorized staff to advance the award to council.
If Council approves the ordinance, Glass expects construction to start in early August after contracting and the preconstruction meeting. He estimated the crew will begin at the downstream (west) end, replace driveways as they go and work eastward toward the corporation limit. ‘‘I would anticipate little under 2 months to complete the entire job,’’ Glass said. He also said the city will begin resident notifications as soon as the contractor is under contract and a schedule is set.
Councilor Michael Wos asked when residents would receive notices; Glass said the city sends letters after the preconstruction meeting and once the contractor’s schedule is finalized. The committee did not authorize final award language at the meeting; the ordinance will appear on the council agenda for formal approval.
The committee’s vote advances the measure to the next step; Council will have the final authority to award the contract and set the construction timeline.
