Adams County commissioners approved a not-to-exceed $253,890 contract with Engineering Resources Inc. for preliminary engineering on Bridal 93, a bridge and roadway project the county intends to develop using federal-aid funding administered by the Indiana Department of Transportation (NDOT).
Nate, presenting for county roads, said the contracted fee falls below the amount the county budgeted for the work and that the project will be 80% reimbursable through the federal-aid grant process once NDOT completes its overlay agreement. He characterized the agreement as a multiyear contract for project development and recommended commissioners sign the countystandard professional-services agreement.
Commissioners approved the motion to sign the contract. Nate and staff also briefed the board on other road items: Community Crossings matching-grant applications will be submitted by the end of the month; Bridal 01 plans were advertised and bidders are accessing plans; Bridal 66 approach work will close the structure for about seven days while crews remove and rebuild the approach slab to fix roadway movement.
Ending: Staff will finalize signatures and submit project paperwork to NDOT to trigger the statefederal grant overlay; county highway staff said they will circulate construction notices to affected residents and schools ahead of Bridal 66 work.
