Commissioners approve Lochmuller Group for Bridge 161 rehabilitation preliminary engineering
Summary
The Board approved recommending Lochmuller Group for preliminary engineering and right‑of‑way services for Bridge 161 on County Road 575 West; the award is pending state transportation department review.
The Board of Johnson County Commissioners approved the county highway department’s recommendation to pursue Lochmuller Group for preliminary engineering and right‑of‑way services for the Bridge 161 rehabilitation project on County Road 575 West, north of 300 South.
Highway engineer Daniel Johnson told commissioners the department received seven letters of interest and scored the proposals; the county’s selection is subject to review and approval by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Johnson described the site as a bridge located at an s‑curve on County Road 575 West.
Discussion focused on procedural next steps: the county’s selection follows internal scoring and now awaits INDOT’s confirmation that the correct procurement steps were taken. The board approved the county’s recommendation by voice vote.
The decision advances preliminary engineering and right‑of‑way work on the Bridge 161 rehabilitation; INDOT approval is required before the county may finalize the contract with the recommended firm.
Ending: County staff will proceed with INDOT coordination and return to the board with any required approvals or contract documents for final signature.
