The Tuscarawas County Board of Commissioners on July 15 approved a contract and public improvement agreement with The Ruhlin Company for Project #1‑2026 to replace the bridge on County Road 62 at mile 0.70. The action was taken on the recommendation of Engineer Doug Bachman and the agreement was approved as to form by Assistant County Prosecutor Kristine Beard. The motion was moved by Commissioner Mitch Pace and seconded by Commissioner Greg Ress, and the board voted yes, yes, yes.
The meeting record identifies the contractor and the project but does not include the contract price or completion schedule in the public minutes. County staff recommended the award and county counsel reviewed the agreement for form; commissioners completed a unanimous vote to proceed with the contract. Further procurement and project details were not specified at the meeting.
