Morgan County approves paving, bridge and engineering contracts totaling about $2.8 million
Summary
Commissioners approved awards for a county paving project, two bridge contracts and a consulting contract for federally funded safety projects; the awards were made to the lowest responsive bidders and a consultant selected through scoring.
The Morgan County Board of Commissioners approved multiple public-works contracts covering paving, bridge rehabilitation and preliminary engineering for federally funded safety projects.
Justin, a county public-works staff member who reviewed certified bids, recommended awarding the CCMG 2024-2 paving contract to Wallace Construction after correcting math errors on Wallace’s submission; the adjusted contract amount was $1,377,968.85. The board approved the recommendation by voice vote (3-0).
The board also awarded a contract for Bridge 99 to Panam Contractors, the lowest responsible bidder, for $595,000. Commissioners approved the award by voice vote (3-0).
For a multi-bridge rehabilitation package, staff recommended awarding the contract to Baumgartner and Company for $748,491. County staff said the multi-bridge contract includes work on Group 1 bridges originally submitted in the CCMG package and a Group 2 item adding Fire Station Road; the bridge on Fire Station Road will require a separate beam-replacement contract and the paving contractor will repave over the repaired beam once structural work is complete. The board approved that contract by voice vote (3-0).
Separately the board approved a Local Public Agency (LPA) consulting contract with Versus Engineering for design work on five safety projects in four locations (Rob Hill Road, the intersection of Landersdale Road/Baltimore and Tuttermore Road, Greencastle and Gaspar Road). The consulting contract is $105,000; staff said the projects were selected from crash-data analysis and that the funding award for construction is a 90/10 federal/local split.
Commissioners recorded each contract approval by voice vote; staff said construction schedules and coordination (for example, replacing a beam then repaving) will be handled between contractors and county staff and that some timelines—for example, a beam replacement scheduled in May–June—will govern when related paving takes place.
Copies of the bid tabulations and the contracts were included in meeting materials.
