Commissioners Zoom's Meeting

The Richland County Ohio Board of Commissioners held a meeting on June 19, 2026, which included several procurement and contracting discussions. The board approved a 24-month engineering services contract with K. McCartney and Jason Bergholder, not to exceed $10,000 per year, to provide expert advice on wastewater system issues. They also approved bids for two major road projects: an annual chip and seal contract awarded to Earthworm Construction for $458,787.73 to cover 16.2 miles of county highways, and a cold constructed asphalt pavement resurfacing contract, also awarded to Earthworm Construction for $692,465, covering 8.7 miles of roads. Additionally, the board authorized the purchase of a used 2017 Ford F550 truck for $49,337 for the highway department and agreed to list the existing 2005 truck for sale. Other agenda items included approval of utility permit applications and weekly budget transfers. The meeting also featured a presentation from the Mosquito Water Conservancy District on watershed management, funding, and upcoming grant programs, though no direct procurement actions resulted from that segment.
