Re: Resolution 23-21 – Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the SR 161 / Cosgray
Road Roundabout Project
Summary
On April 6, 2021, seven (7) bids were received, publicly opened and read by Engineering staff for the
State Route (SR) 161 / Cosgray Road Roundabout project (the “Project”) as identified in the adopted
2017-2021 Capital Improvements Program (CIP). Work included in the Project consists of the
construction of a modern roundabout including asphalt paving, storm sewer, curb and gutter, straight
curb, truck apron, brick pavers, sidewalk, shared-use path, street lights, signing, pavement markings
and landscaping.
Being located at the intersection of SR 161 and Cosgray Road, the Project is within three separate
jurisdictions, the City of Dublin (the “City”), Union County and Franklin County. All three jurisdictions
(collectively, the “Project Partners”) have been working together to construct this Project. The
Project Partners entered into a Cooperative Construction Agreement on June 28, 2016 for the
intersection improvements. In accordance with the Agreement, the City was the main point of contact
regarding the property acquisition necessary for the Project, but Union County was responsible for
costs of purchasing or acquiring those property interests from the various property owners.
The Engineer’s estimate for this project is $3,500,000. In accordance with the Agreement, the City
previously contributed $937,500 towards the project to Union County. In addition to the City’s
contribution, Franklin County and the Developer were also obligated to make financial contributions
towards the Project. Along with the financial contribution, the City agreed to perform property
acquisitions, coordinate utility relocations, oversee plan preparation and manage construction and
inspection for the Project. Union County is to finance the remaining costs of the Project and pay all
invoices.
George J. Igel & Company, Inc. submitted the lowest and best bid of $3,073,309.83. Staff has

substantially complete and open to traffic in August 2021. The final completion date for the project is
September 30, 2021. The typical and customary communication methods will be used to convey
construction information with the residents, business owners and motorists throughout the duration
of this Project.
The City will have a designated Engineering Project Inspector assigned to the work for this Project
who will provide coordination, be available to answer any questions and manage access needs at
adjacent businesses and residences throughout the performance of the work.
