Todd County approves $55,000 bridge design contract and accepts $296,000 state grant for two roads
Summary
Commissioners approved a $55,000 design agreement with STV for a bridge project and adopted a resolution accepting a $296,000 state transportation grant for Stringtown Road and Morton Lane; both measures passed on voice votes.
Todd County commissioners approved a design agreement and accepted state funding for road projects during the regular meeting.
Speaker 2 presented a design agreement with STV for the county's main bridge project, saying the total design portion was $55,000. "The design part is 55,000," Speaker 2 told the board; a motion and second were recorded and the board approved the agreement on a voice vote.
Speaker 2 also introduced a resolution (listed as 25‑9 in the meeting packet) and an accompanying state agreement to accept $296,000 to complete work on Stringtown Road and Morton Lane. "They're gonna give us, in this case, $296,000 to do our work to these 2 roads," Speaker 2 said. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution and agreement by voice vote; Speaker 2 said the county would return signed paperwork to the state transportation office for execution before work could begin.
Speaker 2 reminded commissioners that future bridge and road grants may require the county to contribute a share (citing a future expectation of a 12.5 percent county match on some projects) and that the county typically covers application design and monitoring costs. The transcript shows no recorded opposition to either vote; both passed on voice votes with ayes recorded.
The board asked the county administrator to email the full agreements to commissioners for their records and to provide updates on scheduling once state approvals are complete.
