Parma awards Brookdale Avenue water-main contract to Terrace Construction, $488,593.90

Parma City Council moved and adopted Ordinance 1-19-25, authorizing the mayor or director of public service to enter into a contract with the lowest and best bidder for the Brookdale Avenue water-main replacement project; the ordinance was amended to name Terrace Construction Company, Incorporated as the contractor and to set the contract amount at $488,593.90.

At committee level, the engineering amendment identifying Terrace Construction and the dollar amount was inserted in the ordinance text. During final action, Councilwoman Cammie Schuman moved to amend the ordinance to insert the contractor and amount, and the council waived the usual rule 52 to place the ordinance on third reading and passage as amended. Council adopted the ordinance by roll-call vote; each council member present voted yes.

The ordinance authorizes award of the Brookdale Avenue water-main replacement project from Broadview Road to West Sixteenth Street and declares the project an emergency so that the contract can be executed promptly. The council’s action completes the local legislative approval needed for the director of public service to finalize the contract with the designated low bidder and proceed with procurement and construction steps identified in the ordinance.

Implementation steps, including contract execution and the public-service department’s scheduling of construction, will be handled by the director of public service as provided in the ordinance.
