Summary
The Board adopted an ordinance authorizing a professional services contract with HDR Inc. not to exceed $185,000 to perform an alternatives analysis for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reevaluation of permit LRL 20081267 a; the expenditure is charged to the dredging account DR0047.
The Paducah Board of Commissioners on May 27 approved an ordinance authorizing the mayor to execute a professional services contract with HDR Inc. not to exceed $185,000 for an alternatives analysis connected to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' reevaluation of permit LRL 20081267 a.
The ordinance summary presented at the meeting states the contract is "not to exceed $185,000" and that the expenditure shall be charged to dredging account DR0047. The city clerk read the ordinance at the meeting and commissioners voted to adopt the ordinance by roll call; Commissioners Henderson, Smith, Thomas, Wilson and Mayor George Bray recorded "Aye." No questions were raised during the roll call portion of the discussion.
Why this matters: the work is framed as supporting the Corps' permit reevaluation, which may relate to local dredging, river management or project alternatives. The city described the contract as an alternatives analysis for the Corps' reevaluation.
Funding and next steps: the city cited dredging account DR0047 as the funding source for the contract. The ordinance authorizes the city to enter into the contract and obligates the mayor to execute the professional services agreement with HDR Inc. The contract amount and account designation were recorded in the meeting minutes as presented.
