Columbia County approved an $8,700 independent contractor agreement with WSP to perform geotechnical borings at the County Camp (Blackstone Camp) tower site after staff observed subsurface conditions that appear to be causing settling of the building that supports the broadband tower.
The contract is funded by the county Broadband Utility and was presented by county staff responsible for the Broadband Utility. Staff said borings are needed to determine the subsurface composition and the appropriate corrective measures. Staff recommended approval of the $8,700 contract; the item was moved on consent and approved.
County staff did not offer a remediation plan at the meeting; the borings are intended to inform next steps.
