County engineer awards Winton Road and East Miami River Road bridge projects; funding sources and completion dates set
Summary
The county awarded two construction contracts: Winton Road resurfacing at a low bid of $2,195,000 (80% federal grant, completion August next year) and East Miami River Road bridge replacement at $732,000 (100% permissive auto fund, completion Jan. 2027).
County Engineer Eric Beck told commissioners he reopened bids after April submittals came in too high; the rebid for the Winton Road project produced a low bid of $2,195,000, about 5% under the engineer's estimate. He said 80% of the Winton Road funding will come from a County Engineers Association of Ohio federal grant and the remaining 20% from permissive auto funds, with an estimated completion of August 2027.
Beck also presented the low bid for East Miami River Road (Bridge 1047) at $732,000 — 13% over the engineer's estimate of $643,690 — but within legal limits. He said 100% of that bridge project's funding will be covered by permissive auto funds and gave an estimated completion date of January 2027. Commissioners approved both bid awards during the meeting.
