Commissioners award design and construction-observation contract for Leos Drive reconstruction
Summary
The board approved a $193,875 contract with Inberg Miller Engineers for design and construction observation on County Road 1243 (Leos Drive). Public Works said recent development and heavy truck traffic accelerated the timeline for full rehabilitation.
Sweetwater County commissioners approved a contract with Inberg Miller Engineers for design and construction observation on County Road 1243, known as Leos Drive, after public-works staff said development and increased truck traffic accelerated the project schedule.
Why it matters: Leos Drive was not scheduled for full rehabilitation for several years; recent construction, increased local traffic and drainage issues made earlier reconstruction necessary, county staff said.
Details: Public works director Gene Gursky explained the county followed a standard request-for-proposal process, received proposals evaluated by a five-person selection committee, and is asking the board to award the design and construction observation contract for $193,875 to Inberg Miller Engineers. Funding will come from fuel-tax revenues.
Decision: The commission approved the contract by motion; the vote was unanimous among commissioners present.
Discussion vs. decision: This was a formal award of a professional-services contract; staff will proceed with design and construction observation under the contract terms.
Ending: Public Works will oversee design and coordinate construction observation work with Inberg Miller Engineers and will report progress to the commission as the project advances.
