Commissioners discuss delayed $10,000 INDOT invoice for Bridge 36
Summary
Highway staff reported a $10,000 change-order invoice for Bridge 36 signed in January 2021 that arrived years later and appeared to have been sent to 'Vermillion' instead of Warren County; staff confirmed the county paid to close the project.
County highway staff told the Board of Commissioners that an invoice for $10,000 tied to Bridge 36 — described in the transcript as a change order signed in January 2021 — was only received recently after a long delay. Staff said the payment paperwork was addressed to 'Vermillion' rather than 'Warren County', creating confusion about why Vermillion County had not contacted Warren County earlier.
A highway representative said work tied to the change order was completed and inspected; the county closed the project in May of the year referenced in the transcript and then only received an invoice last week. Staff characterized the state process as slow but confirmed the county would pay to close out the matter.
Commissioners and staff noted the delay highlights occasional administrative lag in state-contractor invoicing; no formal motion was recorded specifically to dispute the invoice.
