Summary

The commission voted 3‑0 to approve an engineering agreement with Schwab Eaton for preliminary and final plans and associated services for bridge project 15.4‑N.6 (North of Lancaster on Jewell Road).

Atchison County commissioners voted to approve an engineering services agreement with Schwab Eaton for bridge project 15.4‑N.6, a replacement project north of Lancaster on Jewell Road.

Road and Bridge Superintendent Joe Snyder told the board the consultant fee totals $73,000 for engineering (preliminary field check plans, office checks and final plans). Snyder said inspection services will be bid separately and will be an additional cost.

Commissioner Quinn moved to approve the consulting agreement and a second was recorded; the board approved the contract by voice vote, “Aye,” with a tally of 3‑0.

The board directed staff to proceed with plan checks and then advertise the project for construction bidding, with inspection services to be procured when required.
