Site work for a municipal facility in Archbold, Ohio. Completed plans call for site work for a municipal facility.

An Agricultural Runoff Treatment System (ARTS) will be constructed on Village owned property north and west of the intersection of North Clyde's Way and East Lutz Road (aka The Reservoir Property). This ARTS will consist of a new 16.3 acre wetland pond with a 19.3 acre grass buffer area that will be designed to receive and treat tile drainage and surface water from approximately 232 acres of cropland. A new and enhanced grassed waterway with rock check dams will extend east from the wetland and is intended to protect from erosion and treat runoff from lands east of the property. Along with the enhanced water quality, the wetland will aid in detaining and metering storm water runoff into Flat Run, a focus for the Village to help alleviate localized flooding within the watershed. Included in this project is an alternate bid item which would install approximately 1,200 feet of 18-inch diameter storm sewer. If the option is exercised, the cost to install this storm sewer would be in addition to the estimated cost of construction as shown below. The project is partially funded with a federal grant through the Ohio EPA for $129,083. The Fulton County Soil & Water Conservation District also secured an H2Ohio Grant of approximately $23,000 to cover labor and materials for grass seeding and tree planting. Public education opportunities, such as signage, coordinated tours/programs, and project information on the Village of Archbold website, will be done following completion of the project. And shall be accompanied by either a Bid Guaranty and Contract Bond in the amount of 100% of the maximum bid amount with satisfactory corporate surety, or by a certified check or bank check on a solvent bank in the amount of not less than 10% of the maximum bid amount, subject to the conditions provided in the Instructions to Bidders. The successful Bidder will be required to furnish a satisfactory Performance Bond and Maintenance and Guarantee Bond in the amount of 100% of the bid. Est. Value: $ 228,000.00 Est. Completion Date: Dec. 31, 2024 Any bid may be withdrawn prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids, but no bidder shall withdraw his bid within 60 days after the actual opening thereof. The successful bidder will be required to pay not less than the minimum wage rates established by the Department of Industrial Relations of the State of Ohio. The Village of Archbold reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive irregularities in any bid, and to accept any bid which is deemed most favorable to the Village of Archbold.
