Commissioners authorize PennDOT to advertise and select bridge-inspection consultant for county
Summary
Board moved to allow PennDOT to advertise and select a bridge-inspection consultant on Clearfield County's behalf; commissioners discussed county-owned bridges (reported as "9 or 10").
Clearfield County commissioners voted to authorize the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to advertise and select a bridge-inspection consultant on the county's behalf as the county approaches its routine six-year inspection cycle.
A motion to allow PennDOT to advertise and select the consultant was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote. A county official explained that the contract runs with PennDOT and that PennDOT handles advertising for the county.
Commissioners asked how many county-owned bridges exist; the discussion record indicates uncertainty, with commissioners saying "9 or 10." The county said the inspection cycle and consultant selection are part of routine bridge-management responsibilities.
No contract award or consultant name was announced at the meeting; authorization was limited to permitting PennDOT to advertise and select a consultant on the county's behalf.
