County accepts 2026 highway bids and approves 10‑year small‑structure inspection contract
Summary
County Highway requested and the commission accepted 2026 annual bids and approved a 10‑year inspection agreement with USI estimated at about $215,000 to inspect small structures countywide (structures from 19 feet down to 36 inches).
Steve Moriarty, County Highway, asked the commissioners to accept the county’s 2026 annual bids after staff review and documentation checks; the board approved accepting the bids.
Moriarty also presented a proposed 10‑year small‑structure inspection agreement with USI, saying the contract is “approximately $215,000 over the next 10 years” for inspections of the county’s small structures. He described the scope as covering structures ranging from 19 feet down to 36 inches. Commissioners approved moving forward with USI for continued inspections.
Why it matters: Regular inspection of small structures is a recurring infrastructure safety and maintenance activity. The long‑term contract spreads the cost over a decade and continues a practice the county has followed for years.
Procedure and next steps: The motion to accept the annual bids and the motion approving the USI contract were moved, seconded, and passed during the session. Staff will manage the inspection schedule and coordinate invoicing according to the contract terms.
