WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, Ohio — Fayette County commissioners voted May 18 to award a $249,971 contract to King Development LTD of Findlay for Phase B of the county’s Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill Expansion, keeping the project well under the engineer’s estimate.
Commissioners accepted the low bid on the recommendation of County Engineer Jason Little after two bids were opened during the meeting. Civil Solutions Associates Inc. of Cincinnati bid $360,541.60 for the same work. The county’s engineer’s estimate for the project had been $370,000, according to the meeting minutes.
In related action, commissioners authorized Little to sign a contract with Bowser Mohrer Inc. for construction administration and inspection services on the landfill expansion, with an estimated fee of $39,780. They also approved a $5,000 addendum to an existing consulting contract with Burgess & Niple Inc. to cover additional engineering work tied to the expansion, according to the county.
Commissioners separately voted to forgive $4,850 owed to Fayette County by Washington Court House resident Lori Rinehart under the county’s CHIP home rehabilitation program. The debt stemmed from a rehabilitation project performed at her Dennis Street home in November 2013 and secured by a mortgage filed with the county recorder, the board said in its resolution.
The information contained in this story was obtained from the Fayette County Board of Commissioners.
