A substitute A-7 was read into record and Finance Director Bryan Hoffman explained the $600k increase will go to the TIFF that is helping fund this project. City Engineer Tony Demasi said bids were opened December 16 and Vizmeg was determined to be the lowest and best bidder at $3.3 million. Vizmeg was also the contractor on the first phase of this project; the city and the public were both pleased with the results. The city also received a $500 grant from The Ohio Department of Natural Resources as part of this project. This phase of the project will start at Bath Road and continue over Mud Brook and run behind Menards and have a 200-foot bridge crossing Old Mill Pond, ending at People Care Park Boulevard.
