County approves consultant deal for Mayflower Road bridge work, not-to-exceed $659,700
Summary
The board approved a consultant agreement (not to exceed $659,700) with Lawson Fisher Associates for Mayflower Road bridge rehabilitation, described as a federal-aid project with roughly an 80/20 funding split; the selection had been recommended in prior meetings and the agreement was approved on the record.
A department representative told the St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners that the Mayflower Road bridge rehabilitation project — described on the record as a federal-aid project spanning Norfolk Southern and NICD railroads — requires consultant services for construction inspection and related work. The consultant selection had been approved at a prior meeting and the board considered the consultant agreement at the Oct. 22 meeting.
The recommended consultant agreement was with Lawson Fisher Associates for a not-to-exceed amount of $659,700. The presenter said the project would be close to an 80/20 funding split (federal/local), and that consultants typically bill time as spent and historically have not reached the not-to-exceed limits on similar projects. Commissioners raised no objections and the board approved the agreement.
No additional terms, contract start dates, or anticipated construction schedules were detailed on the record. The agreement authorizes county staff to proceed with consultant work as described in the contract scope.
