Council advances Greenwich Road resurfacing, engineering and stormwater mapping items

Council discussed the Greenwich Road Resurfacing Project and related engineering and stormwater mapping items at the April 20 meeting, moving the resurfacing contract and engineering services onto the agenda for first reading and confirming a stormwater mapping agreement for first reading.

Mr. Tsley introduced ordinance 45-2026 to award a resurfacing contract to Northstar Asphalt for the Greenwich Road project, which the agenda materials show includes a 10% contingency for approximately 2.54 miles of roadway. The transcript lists the contract amount in a garbled form and the precise total is unclear in the meeting record; council asked about the city's share of the grant-funded project and the project boundaries (discussed as from the Medina line to the center of town).

Council also added ordinance 48-2026 to authorize the administrative officer to enter into an agreement with Environmental Design Group (EDG) for engineering and inspection services with a not-to-exceed amount stated as $99,388. In utilities, ordinance 46-2026 was introduced for GPD Group to provide GIS services for storm-sewer mapping, with a not-to-exceed amount of $39,500 after the scope increased (transcript indicates initial expected finds of ~750 grew to about 2,000 features).

Why it matters: the resurfacing and mapping work affects road conditions, local infrastructure budgets and grant allocations; engineering and inspection contracts establish who will oversee construction quality.

Next steps: Ordinance 45-2026 (resurfacing) and 48-2026 (engineering services) were added for first reading and will return for subsequent readings; the exact contract amount for the resurfacing project was unclear in the transcript and should be confirmed in the official agenda materials.
