Columbia County commissioners voted on several routine agenda items after the shelter discussion.
The board awarded bid number 202507 for an annual resurfacing project on Burke Avenue to Anderson Columbia for $452,066.77, approving the low bid after the county's recommendation. The board also approved donating a partial easement (Partial 014 South 1602646000) to the state Department of Transportation to accommodate widening and intersection improvements at Bradford Highway and Baskin Norris.
Separately, commissioners approved a budget amendment to fund repairs at the River Rise boat ramp after a grant application was not approved. The transcript recorded the requested budget amendment as "BA 25 50" with an amount phrased in the meeting; the precise numeric amount listed in the transcript was not unambiguously stated and is recorded in this article as not specified. The board moved and approved the amendment so staff could proceed with necessary work.
The board also approved the ranking of firms for construction engineering inspection work on a multi-phase road improvement project at Ellisville and authorized staff to begin negotiations with the top-ranked firm (the board referenced the firm R, S & H as the top-ranked candidate). All motions on these items passed by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded in the meeting transcript.
These items were presented as part of the consent or routine business portion of the meeting. Board members asked few substantive questions during the votes and moved each recommendation as presented by staff.
