Monroe County approves $25,333 contract amendment with HDR for additional Stillright Point design work
Summary
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners on June 17 approved Amendment No. 10 — $25,333.06 — to the county's contract with HDR Inc. to fund additional technical evaluation and presentation of roadway design alternatives for the Stillright Point vulnerability analysis and capital plan.
Monroe County commissioners on June 17 approved Amendment No. 10 for $25,333.06 to the contract with HDR Inc. to pay for additional professional technical support evaluating and presenting additional roadway design alternatives at Stillright Point.
The amendment covers extra technical work to supplement initial recommendations under the county's roadway vulnerability analysis and capital plan for county-maintained roads. County staff presented the item as a funding authorization only; no technical presentation was given during the item. County staff member Rhonda told the board, “there's no presentation for this ... it's really can be a bulk approval if desired or just pass unless you have any questions.”
There were no members of the public signed up to speak on the amendment. A commissioner moved to approve, another seconded, and the chair declared the motion passed; the transcript does not record names for the mover, seconder or a roll-call vote.
Why it matters: the amendment adds a modest amount of professional fees to the county's existing contract with HDR Inc., enabling staff and consultants to produce additional roadway design options that feed into the Stillright Point project file and any grant applications tied to that design work. The county is simultaneously evaluating funding sources for construction-level work on Stillright Point, and staff have flagged that changes to a funded design could require the county to resubmit or be rescored by grant programs.
What the record shows: the amendment text presented to the board identifies the amount ($25,333.06) and ties the work specifically to additional roadway design alternatives for Stillright Point under the HDR contract for the roads vulnerability analysis and capital plan. The board approved the payment authorization; no other formal action was taken on the item.
Next steps and context: the county will continue design work on Stillright Point and other vulnerable roads as part of its broader roads vulnerability program. That work is linked to competitive grant applications and permits that regulators (state water agencies and water management districts) must approve if construction proceeds.
