MANSFIELD — City Council on Tuesday is expected to vote on property easements needed to replace a 126-year-old municipal bridge on the north side.
A project to replace the Sixth Street bridge just east of Bowman Street is estimated to cost $1,188,609, with 80 percent covered by federal/state grant dollars.
The price tag includes design and construction costs.
It will replace a double-arch span over Touby Run that was built in 1900.
City of Mansfield engineer Bob Bob Bianchi said construction would begin in August and be complete by the end of October.
Also on Tuesday, City Council is scheduled to:
— vote on a resolution honoring Mansfield Fire Dept. Assistant Chief Rob Garn.
— vote on the appointment of Aphordia Deshea Harris to the Mansfield Public Arts Commission for a three-year term that begins Aug. 1.
— vote to pay Bricker Graydon LLP $14,321.21 through a “then-and-now” certificate. Legal services related to economic development were provided to the city’s industrial development department before a purchase order was submitted.
— vote to approve the continued use of GovDeals Inc. to sell unneeded, obsolete and unfit property through internet auction. The city has used GovDeals since 2004.
— give a first read to legislation that would approve spending $1,156,948 to purchase a new Pierce Impel Pumper Fire Truck for the MFD. The legislation would allow the city to enter into a term loan agreement not to exceed 10 years and shall be paid from the MFD capital equipment fund.
— vote to appoint 2nd Ward Councilwoman Cheryl Meier to the Richland County Regional Planning Commission Metropolitan Planning Organization to complete the unexpired term of former 3rd Ward Councilman Rev. El Akuchie.
Council caucus is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., followed immediately by the legislative session.
