§ 5525.01. Advertisement for bids - awarding of contracts - ODOT letting fund
Status: in_force

October 3, 2023 House Bill 33 - 135th General Assembly Before entering into a contract, the director of transportation may advertise for bids for two consecutive weeks in one newspaper of general circulation published in the county in which the improvement or part thereof is located, but if there is no such newspaper then in one newspaper having general circulation in an adjacent county. In the alternative, the director may advertise for bids as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code. The director shall advertise for bids in such other publications as the director considers advisable. Such notices shall state that plans and specifications for the improvement are on file in the office of the director and the district deputy director of the district in which the improvement or part thereof is located and the time within which bids therefor will be received. Each bidder shall be required to file with the bidder's bid a bid guaranty in the form of a certified check, a cashier's check, or an electronic funds transfer to the treasurer of state that is evidenced by a receipt or by a certification to the director of transportation in a form prescribed by the director that an electronic funds transfer has been made to the treasurer of state, for an amount equal to five per cent of the bidder's bid, but in no event more than fifty thousand dollars, or a bid bond for ten per cent of the bidder's bid, payable to the director, which check, transferred sum, or bond shall be forthwith returned to the bidder in case the contract is awarded to another bidder, or, in case of a successful bidder, when the bidder has entered into a contract and furnished the bonds required by section 5525.16 of the Revised Code. In the event the contract is awarded to a bidder, and the bidder fails or refuses to furnish the bonds as required by section 5525.16 of the Revised Code, the check, transferred sum, or bid bond filed with the bidder's bid shall be forfeited as liquidated damages. No bidder shall be required either to file a signed contract with the bidder's bid, to enter into a contract, or to furnish the contract performance bond and the payment bond required by that section until the bids have been opened and the bidder has been notified by the director that the bidder is awarded the contract. The director shall permit a bidder to withdraw the bidder's bid from consideration, without forfeiture of the check, transferred sum, or bid bond filed with the bid, providing a written request together with a sworn statement of the grounds for such withdrawal is delivered within forty-eight hours after the time established for the receipt of bids, and if the price bid was substantially lower than the other bids, providing the bid was submitted in good faith, and the reason for the price bid being substantially lower was a clerical mistake evident on the face of the bid, as opposed to a judgment mistake, and was actually due to an unintentional and substantial arithmetic error or an unintentional omission of a substantial quantity of work, labor, or material made directly in the compilation of the bid. In the event the director decides the conditions for withdrawal have not been met, the director may award the contract to such bidder. If such bidder does not then enter into a contract and furnish the contract bond as required by law, the director may declare forfeited the check, transferred sum, or bid bond as liquidated damages and award the contract to the next higher bidder or reject the remaining bids and readvertise the project for bids. Such bidder, within thirty days, may appeal the decision of the director to the court of common pleas of Franklin county and the court may affirm or reverse the decision of the director and may order the director to refund the amount of the forfeiture. At the hearing before the common pleas court evidence may be introduced for and against the decision of the director. The decision of the common pleas court may be appealed as in other cases. There is hereby created the ODOT letting fund, which shall be in the custody of the treasurer of state but shall not be part of the state treasury. All certified checks and cashiers' checks received with bidders' bids, and all sums transferred to the treasurer of state by electronic funds transfer in connection with bidders' bids, under this section shall be credited to the fund. All such bid guaranties shall be held in the fund until a determination is made as to the final disposition of the money. If the department determines that any such bid guaranty is no longer required to be held, the amount of the bid guaranty shall be returned to the appropriate bidder. If the department determines that a bid guaranty under this section shall be forfeited, the amount of the bid guaranty shall be transferred or, in the case of money paid on a forfeited bond, deposited into the state treasury, to the credit of the highway operating fund. Any investment earnings of the ODOT letting fund shall be distributed as the treasurer of state considers appropriate. The director shall require all bidders to furnish the director, upon such forms as the director may prescribe, detailed information with respect to all pending work of the bidder, whether with the department of transportation or otherwise, together with such other information as the director considers necessary. In the event a bidder fails to submit anything required to be submitted with the bid and then fails or refuses to so submit such at the request of the director, the failure or refusal constitutes grounds for the director, in the director's discretion, to declare as forfeited the bid guaranty submitted with the bid. The director may reject any or all bids. Except in regard to contracts for environmental remediation and specialty work for which there are no classes of work set out in the rules adopted by the director, if the director awards the contract, the director shall award it to the lowest competent and responsible bidder as defined by rules adopted by the director under section 5525.05 of the Revised Code, who is qualified to bid under sections 5525.02 to 5525.09 of the Revised Code. In regard to contracts for environmental remediation and specialty work for which there are no classes of work set out in the rules adopted by the director, the director shall competitively bid the projects in accordance with this chapter and shall award the contracts to the lowest and best bidder. The award for all projects competitively let by the director under this section shall be made within ten days after the date on which the bids are opened, and the successful bidder shall enter into a contract and furnish a contract performance bond and a payment bond, as provided for in section 5525.16 of the Revised Code, within ten days after the bidder is notified that the bidder has been awarded the contract. The director may insert in any contract awarded under this chapter a clause providing for value engineering change proposals, under which a contractor who has been awarded a contract may propose a change in the plans and specifications of the project that saves the department time or money on the project without impairing any of the essential functions and characteristics of the project such as service life, reliability, economy of operation, ease of maintenance, safety, and necessary standardized features. If the director adopts the value engineering proposal, the savings from the proposal shall be divided between the department and the contractor according to guidelines established by the director, provided that the contractor shall receive at least fifty per cent of the savings from the proposal. The adoption of a value engineering proposal does not invalidate the award of the contract or require the director to rebid the project. Last updated September 14, 2023 at 10:05 AM

If the board determines, in that resolution or in a subsequent resolution, that special assessments are not to be levied and collected to pay any part of the county's costs of the improvement, the board, in that resolution or in a subsequent resolution, including a resolution authorizing the issuance or incurrence of public obligations for the improvement, may authorize the improvement and the expenditure of funds required by the county for its construction and may proceed with the improvement without regard to any other procedures required by sections 5555.03 to 5555.42 , 5555.45 to 5555.47 , 5555.50 , and 5555.81 to 5555.83 of the Revised Code except as otherwise provided in this section. (B) This section applies to and authorizes an improvement located wholly within a single county, an improvement located in a county and one or more other counties in this state, an improvement along the county line between a county and one or more other counties in this state, an improvement extending from a county into or through one or more adjoining counties in this state, and an improvement on or along the line between this state and an adjoining state. If an improvement involves more than one county in this state, the portion of the cost of the improvement to be borne by each county, after deducting any amount agreed to be paid by any township in that county in which the improvement is located in whole or in part, shall be determined, without regard to or necessity for a joint board of county commissioners, in an agreement among the counties. Those counties may proceed in accordance with this section if special assessments are not to be levied and collected, or may proceed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter applicable to a single county improvement if special assessments are to be levied and collected. If an improvement is on or along the line between this state and an adjoining state, the portion of its cost to be borne by a county in this state shall be determined in an agreement between the county and the proper authorities of the adjoining state or its participating or cooperating subdivision or agency. (C) The following provisions also apply to an improvement undertaken pursuant to this section: (1) The improvement and the proceedings for its construction and financing, including a contract for the construction, may include, consistent with the other provisions of this section and notwithstanding any provisions of this chapter to the contrary, any road or roads or parts of any road or roads, and the provisions of sections 5555.61 to 5555.69 of the Revised Code relating to contracts for the construction of an improvement shall be construed accordingly and shall be controlling to the extent applicable. (2) Any surveys, plans, profiles, cross sections, estimates of cost, and specifications that may be required: (a) In the case of a single county improvement, shall be prepared by the county engineer at the direction of the board of county commissioners and shall require the board's approval; (b) In the case of an improvement undertaken cooperatively by two or more counties in this state, shall be prepared by a county engineer of one of the counties as agreed to by the relevant boards of county commissioners or, if the boards are unable to so agree and certify that fact jointly to the director of transportation, by a county engineer of one of those counties designated by the director, and the surveys, plans, profiles, cross sections, estimates of cost, and specifications so prepared shall require the approval of each of the boards; (c) In the case of an improvement on or along the line between this state and an adjoining state, shall be prepared by the county engineer of the county in this state and shall require the approval of the board of county commissioners and the proper authorities of the adjoining state or its participating or cooperating subdivision or agency. (D) In the case of an improvement undertaken pursuant to this section on or along the line between this state and an adjoining state, a board of county commissioners also may join in its construction with the department of transportation and the equivalent department of the other state as if the improvement were wholly within this state. (E) If, in the case of an improvement undertaken pursuant to this section involving two or more counties in this state, the boards of county commissioners of the relevant counties are unable to agree upon the portion of the costs of the improvement to be borne by each county and certify that fact jointly to the director of transportation, the director shall make the apportionment and certify it to each of the counties. (F) A board of county commissioners may order that the county's cost of an improvement undertaken pursuant to this section be paid from tax levies or a road improvement fund referred to in section 5555.43 of the Revised Code. A county may enter into an agreement with any township in which the improvement is located in whole or in part for the allocation of the cost between the county and the township. (G) Proceedings for the appropriation of real property or interests in real property needed by a county for an improvement undertaken pursuant to this section shall take place in accordance with sections 163.01 to 163.22 of the Revised Code. (H) If, in the case of an improvement undertaken pursuant to this section involving two or more counties in this state, public obligations are issued or incurred to pay the costs of the improvement, the obligations shall be issued separately by each county for its portion of those costs, and the boards of county commissioners may provide for the construction of a portion of the improvement wholly within one county as and to the extent authorized for a joint board of county commissioners by section 5555.32 of the Revised Code. (I) Actions required or authorized to be taken by a board of county commissioners pursuant to this section may be taken, consistent with the other provisions of this section, by a majority vote of the members of the board.

§ 5555.42. Application to court if equitable assessment cannot be made
Status: in_force

September 29, 2011 House Bill 153 - 129th General Assembly A board of county commissioners desiring to construct a county road improvement, and finding that no equitable method of apportioning the compensation, damages, and expenses thereof is provided by section 5555.41 of the Revised Code, or finding that an equitable assessment cannot be made by the use of any of the several assessment areas authorized by said section, may order the county engineer to make a tentative plan for such improvement and an approximate estimate of the cost. Such board may thereupon file an application in the court of common pleas describing the improvement in question, and a copy of the tentative plan and approximate estimate of cost shall be attached to such application. The board shall set forth in such application that the compensation, damages, and expenses of the improvement cannot be equitably apportioned under any of the several plans provided by said section or that such compensation, damages, and expenses cannot be equitably assessed by the use of any one of the several assessment areas authorized by said section, or that both such conditions exist, and it shall set forth a method of apportioning the compensation, damages, and expenses and a definite description of the area against which it desires to assess any part of such compensation, damages, and expenses. The application shall contain a prayer requesting authority from such court to construct the improvement and apportion the compensation, damages, and expenses according to the plan suggested by such board and to assess the designated portion of the cost against the real estate within the area described in the petition. Notice of the filing and pendency of such application shall be given once a week for four consecutive weeks by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in such county or as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code. Such notice shall describe the route and termini of the improvement and set forth the estimated cost and the proposed method of apportionment and assessment area. After such notice has been given, the court or a judge thereof shall fix a time for a hearing on such application, and, at the time fixed, the court or a judge thereof shall hear such application and all evidence offered by the board or any taxpayer of the county for or against the proposed plan of apportionment and for or against the use of the suggested assessment area. If the court finds that the suggested plan of apportionment and the area against which special assessments are to be made are fair and just, that the cost of the improvement will not be excessive in view of the benefits conferred, and that all the real estate within the suggested assessment area will be benefited by the construction of the improvement upon the plan suggested and by the use of the method of apportionment set forth in said application, such court may authorize the board to proceed upon the suggested plan and to apportion the compensation, damages, and expenses in the manner set forth in the application and to assess against the real estate within the assessment area designated in the application, according to the benefits, that portion of the cost to be specially assessed; otherwise the court shall dismiss the application and the board may not proceed with the improvement. The court may modify the suggested plan of apportionment or the suggested assessment area and grant the prayer of the application subject to such modifications as it determines are just and proper. The board in its application may set up any division of cost which it thinks proper among the county, the owners of lands to be specially assessed, and any municipal corporation within which such projected improvement is situated in whole or in part, but no portion of the cost may be apportioned to a municipal corporation without the consent of such municipal corporation evidenced by an ordinance or resolution of its legislative authority. When the prayer of any such application is granted by the court or a judge thereof and the plan of apportionment and area of assessment is approved by such court, either as set forth in the application or as modified by the court, the board may proceed with the construction of the improvement and use the method of apportionment and the assessment area authorized by the court. In such event, the board may levy taxes and issue bonds in the manner provided by law with respect to improvements, the compensation, damages, and expenses of which are apportioned and paid as provided in section 5555.41 of the Revised Code, and all proceedings in connection with such improvement shall be conducted in accordance with sections 5555.01 to 5555.83 of the Revised Code, except as provided in this section. The special assessments shall be made by the board against the real estate within the assessment area authorized by the court, but no assessment against any lot or parcel of real estate shall exceed the actual benefits conferred thereon by the construction of the improvement. This section also applies to improvements of sections of a state highway within counties having a tax duplicate of real and personal property in excess of three hundred million dollars, and with respect to which the board desires to co-operate with the department of transportation.

Status: in_force

July 1, 2009 House Bill 2 - 128th General Assembly (A) If circumstances alter the highway requirements after the director of transportation has acquired property so that the real property or part of the real property is no longer required for highway purposes, the director, in the name of the state, may sell all the right, title, and interest of the state in any of the real property. After determining that a parcel of real property is no longer required for highway purposes, the director shall have the parcel appraised by a department prequalified appraiser. (B) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the director shall advertise the sale of real property that is no longer required for highway purposes in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the real property is situated for at least two consecutive weeks prior to the date set for the sale. The real property may be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for not less than two-thirds of its appraised value, but the director may reject all bids that are less than the full appraised value of the real property. However, if no sale has been effected after an effort to sell under this division, the director may set aside the appraisal, order a new appraisal, and, except as otherwise provided in this section, readvertise the property for sale. (C) If real property no longer required for highway purposes is appraised or reappraised as having a current fair market value of twenty thousand dollars or less, the director may sell the real property to the sole abutting owner through a private sale at a price not less than the appraised value. If there is more than one abutting owner, the director may invite all of the abutting owners to submit sealed bids and may sell the real property to the highest bidder at not less than its appraised value. (D) If real property no longer required for highway purposes is appraised or reappraised as having a fair market value of five thousand dollars or less, and no sale has been effected after an effort to sell to the abutting owner or owners, the director may advertise the sale of the real property in accordance with division (B) of this section. The director may sell the land at public auction to the highest bidder without regard to its appraised value, but the director may reject all bids that are less than the full appraised value of the real property. (E) The department shall pay all expenses incurred in the sale of a parcel of real property out of the proceeds of the sale and shall deposit the balance of the proceeds in the highway fund used to acquire that parcel of real property. (F) Upon a determination that real property previously acquired within a highway improvement project corridor no longer is needed for highway purposes, the director may offer the unneeded property to another landowner located within that project's corridor as full or partial consideration for other real property to be acquired from the landowner. If the landowner accepts the offer, the director shall convey the unneeded property directly to the landowner at the full fair market value determined by the department by appraisal. The director shall credit the value of the unneeded property against the acquisition price of the property being acquired by the department, and the landowner shall pay the department the difference if the value of the unneeded property exceeds the acquisition price of the property being acquired. (G) Conveyances of real property under this section shall be by a deed executed by the governor, bearing the great seal of the state, and in the form prescribed by the attorney general. The director shall keep a record of all conveyances of real property made under this section. This section applies to all real property acquired by the department, regardless of how or from whom the property was acquired.
