County staff proposes reallocation of capital funds for Clotfelter Bridge work at Barber Creek Road
Summary
Staff requested moving capital funds previously earmarked for easement acquisitions to cover utility relocation associated with an upgrade to the Clotfelter Bridge at Barber Creek Road; commissioners signaled consent placement and staff said the amendment would cover contract amount for the life of the project.
County staff told commissioners they plan to reallocate capital funds to support relocation of a water main and other utilities tied to planned upgrades to the Clotfelter Bridge at Barber Creek Road.
A staff speaker said the project has been on the county's scope for several years and had been shelved for two to three years. "They're wanting to go and get this bridge upgraded," the staff speaker said, and noted a small water main must be relocated to accommodate the work. The presenter said funds had been set aside for easement acquisitions but the easements are not expected to be acquired this fiscal year, so staff proposed a neutral budget amendment moving funds from easement acquisition to utility relocation.
A commissioner asked whether the relocation work would stay within the existing right-of-way; staff replied, "Yes."
The presenter said the request includes necessary budget amendments up to the contract amount for the life of the project. Commissioners indicated the matter would be handled on the consent agenda; the transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote.
Ending
Staff said they would bring future easement-acquisition items to the board next year when those activities resume and that the reallocation is intended to allow the immediate relocation work to proceed.
