Putnam County renews professional engineering contracts for Planning and Infrastructure
Summary
The commission approved renewed professional engineering service contracts for two engineers to serve the Office of Planning and Infrastructure, with no retainer and an updated mileage rate tied to the IRS rate.
The Putnam County Commission approved renewals of professional engineering-service agreements for two engineers who will work for the county at its request.
Planning Director David Coll presented the proposed renewals, saying the agreements require no retainer or minimum fee and that engineers will invoice monthly for services rendered. Coll told commissioners the only change from the prior year’s proposals was an increase in the mileage reimbursement rate from 67 cents per mile to 70 cents per mile, matching the IRS standard.
Why it matters: These contracts keep on-call engineering resources available to the county without a fixed monthly fee, allowing the Office of Planning and Infrastructure to request services as needed.
David Coll asked the commission to reauthorize the contracts for Lee McCoy, P.E., and Richard Bohm, P.E. A commissioner moved to approve the engineering service proposals for the Office of Planning and Infrastructure; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Coll said the county has worked with the engineers for several years and presented signed proposals for the commission to execute. No fees or hourly rates were changed in the presentation aside from the mileage reimbursement increase.
The commission took no separate roll-call vote; commissioners approved the renewals by voice vote.
