Marucci & Gaffney Excavating gets Wick Avenue improvement pact

YOUNGSTOWN — The city’s board of control today awarded the Wick Avenue improvement project to Marucci & Gaffney Excavating of Youngstown. That company submitted the lowest bid, roughly $4.1 million, of the six submitted.

The city’s law department will review the documents submitted by the company.

Marucci & Gaffney’s bid was lower than the $5.3 million project estimate.

The project runs along Wick Avenue between McGuffey Road and Wood Street.

The project will move above-ground utility poles underground between Rayen Avenue and the Madison Avenue Expressway access roads.

The work also includes replacing two waterlines with one, replacing a sewer line, installing new traffic lights, reducing the four-lane road to three with the middle being a turning lane, paving and new signage.
