The Village is pursuing emergency stabilization of a roadway embankment along Loveland-Madeira Road north of Keller Road after a landslide, and staff have already submitted a successful OPWC emergency pre-application for approximately 90% of design and construction costs. Council is now considering a resolution authorizing the City Engineer to submit the full Ohio Public Works Commission application and the City Manager to execute the necessary contracts, with an estimated total project cost of about 954,200 and OPWC grant funding of 858,780. This is a live capital project for slope stabilization and roadway repair that will require geotechnical design, retaining structures, and construction services once funding is finalized.Vendors in geotechnical engineering, landslide remediation, heavy civil construction, and construction management can still influence design choices, phasing, and value engineering as the full OPWC application and detailed scope are being assembled.

Terracon has proposed 38,800 for geotechnical study and design of a soldier pile retaining wall; OPWC emergency program will fund about 90% with at least 10% local match required.
