Council approves $17,615 after-the-fact guardrail payment tied to Ross Inlet Road emergency repair
Summary
Council approved an after-the-fact $17,615 expenditure to install a guardrail required after emergency slope repairs on Ross Inlet Road, bringing total project cost below the originally approved amount.
Jennifer (public works staff) told the council that the Ross Road Inlet emergency-repair contract with Geo Stabilization International did not include guardrail installation; slope stabilization work narrowed the road shoulder, necessitating a guardrail. Staff solicited bids and received a low construction bid of $17,615 for the guardrail.
Approving this after‑the‑fact expenditure would bring the total repair project cost to $413,805, which staff reported was $44,200 under the amount originally approved on May 7. Councilor (speaker 10) moved to approve payment of $17,615 to the contractor that installed the guardrail; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Council members asked clarifying questions about whether the traveled way had narrowed (staff said the traveled way remained the same; the shoulder had been reduced), and thanked staff for confirming no further costs were expected for the project.
