The Tazewell County transportation committee voted to approve a revised engineering agreement for a township bridge in Washington Township and directed staff to send the corrected contract to the Illinois Department of Transportation for review.

Committee members said the contract contained a small error and required correction before IDOT approval. The item covers engineering services for a township bridge project funded with county bridge funds.

"We need to approve a revised agreement," a committee speaker said before a motion was made to send the corrected contract to IDOT.

The motion was moved and seconded; the committee recorded a voice vote — "aye" — and the motion passed. The meeting minutes show the motion was recorded as "By Grass, second by Extension" and the committee recessed afterward.

Why it matters: correcting and resubmitting the engineering contract to IDOT clears a technical hurdle for a bridge project that uses county bridge funds and keeps the project on the schedule for state review and approval.

No roll‑call tally of individual board members’ votes on the revised agreement was recorded in the transcript; the action was handled as a committee-item approval and will proceed to IDOT for the agency’s formal review.
