Pulaski County hires United Consulting to prepare 16-bridge preservation package
Summary
County commissioners approved hiring United Consulting to prepare design documents and a Community Crossings grant application covering 16 bridges, with a $41,000 upfront design fee charged to this year's highway budget.
Pulaski County commissioners authorized United Consulting to prepare design and grant documents for a bridge preservation package that covers 16 county bridges.
During the meeting, Jerry Krueger and Chris Dyer described the scope as a multi-bridge project intended for the Community Crossings matching-grant program. Chris Dyer said the application window runs from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31 and that the project would be constructed next year if funded. The consultant quoted an upfront design fee of $41,000 "to prepare all the documents," and county staff confirmed that amount is available in this year’s highway budget.
Commissioners moved and seconded to proceed with United Consulting; the motion passed on a voice vote with "aye" recorded and no named roll‑call in the transcript. Commissioners and staff stressed the need to preserve bridges because replacement costs are high. Highway staff were assigned to include the project in next year’s Community Crossings applications and to execute a contract if the grant is awarded.
No specific bridge locations or construction schedule were provided in the meeting transcript; details will be finalized as part of the design and grant application process.
