The City of Hilliard City Council meeting, identified in the title as October 12, 2026 (meeting metadata is dated October 13 UTC), approved two procurement-related resolutions. Resolution 26-R99 unanimously authorized a professional services agreement with Burgess & Niple for the bridge and culvert asset management program (CIPT-174): $150,000 for the current year, with another $150,000 included in the proposed 2027 capital budget for a potential second phase. The work will inventory and assess culverts and other structures, including those under 10 feet that are not subject to regular state or federal inspections. Resolution 26-R100 approved purchases for the Public Service Department: a compact track loader from Ohio CAT for $141,500, less a $26,500 trade-in, for a net $115,000, and a towable chipper from Bobcat Enterprises for $89,000. Both purchases were already allocated in the capital improvement budget.
