County approves $8,700 WSP contract to investigate soil settlement at county broadband tower site
Summary
Columbia County approved an $8,700 independent contract with WSP for borings and subsurface investigation at a County Broadband Utility tower site on Blackstone Camp Road to diagnose building settlement; staff said broadband utility funds will pay the cost.
The Columbia County Services Committee approved an $8,700 independent contract with WSP to perform subsurface borings at a County Broadband Utility tower site on Blackstone Camp Road.
County staff said they observed settling around the building that supports the tower and believe subsurface water or organic soils may be contributing to the movement. The borings are intended to identify soil conditions so staff can develop repairs to stabilize the building.
Staff recommended the contract be funded from the county broadband utility budget. The motion to approve was moved to consent and approved by the committee; the transcript records the staff presentation and approval but does not identify a recorded vote tally.
