City staff recommends Coburn's Concrete for sidewalk and curb replacement work; council will vote Monday

At the Huber Heights work session on March 16, staff reviewed the 2026 sidewalk and concrete program and recommended contract awards. Russ said Section A (sidewalk replacement and drive approaches) received two bids; Coburns Concrete was the low bidder at $120,120 and staff recommended a not-to-exceed amount of $133,000. Section B (concrete leveling) is a small line item, estimated at $2,125 and typically handled via purchase order.

Section C (curb replacement) had three bidders; Coburns again was low at $759,402 and staff recommended a not-to-exceed amount of $836,000. Russ noted Coburns performed sidewalk and curb work for the city in prior years.

Funding for the sidewalk portion is from the capital fund, while the concrete and curb work are funded through street capital, storm, and gas tax funds. Council asked clarifying questions about the bid amounts; after discussion, the council placed the contracts on the Monday council agenda for formal action.
