County to accept standard TDOT agreement for SR 320 bridge project over CSX railroad
Summary
Hamilton County commissioners reviewed a standard Tennessee Department of Transportation agreement for a bridge project on SR 320 over a CSX railroad site; county staff said the agreement obligates cooperative work with TDOT and potential detours, and county maintenance of certain approaches may be required.
Hamilton County commissioners were briefed on a standard Tennessee Department of Transportation agreement related to a bridge project described as “bridge over CSX Railroad, LM 0.86 in Chattanooga on Route SR 320.”
When the clerk called Resolution 425-8, the committee asked for an explanation and the county representative (addressed in the transcript as “Mister Laymon”) described the document as a standard TDOT agreement for state projects that may require the county to accept and maintain approaches or otherwise cooperate on improvements. Laymon said the agreement typically notes the county will “work with them if need be on this project to improve this bridge.”
Laymon also said the project may involve detours and that the nearby CSLA site is close to the work; he said he did not believe the county is a joint owner of the CSLA property but that proximity likely explains the county’s inclusion in the agreement. County official Todd Lehman added that the agreement is standard for state jobs within the county and that the item “alludes to” the county’s obligation to work with the state on the project if required.
No committee vote is recorded in the transcript; the clerk closed the committee reports after the brief explanation.
