Council to consider $130,000 acquisition‑services contract for Chambers Road widening
Summary
Engineering recommended awarding acquisition services to Environmental Design Group for Chambers Road Phase 4 (right‑of‑way and easement acquisition), with a quoted fee of $130,000 and not‑to‑exceed amounts for consultant work ($169,000) and property payments ($250,000).
Staff asked council to authorize contract services with Environmental Design Group to acquire rights‑of‑way and easements necessary for Chambers Road widening (Phase 4). The work covers about 3,100 feet east from Bellefontaine and will include a three‑lane road with an 8‑foot concrete bike and walking path on the north side, plus utilities and retaining walls. Environmental Design Group was the low proposer at $130,000; staff set a consultant not‑to‑exceed of $169,000 and estimated property acquisition not to exceed $250,000.
Staff noted the acquisition process will affect approximately 30 property owners and take at least a year, potentially longer, and that the city will continue to seek funding sources including ODOT and state grants. Council had clarifying questions about timelines and funding and agreed to move the item to Monday for formal action.
