Harrison council approves agreement with TEC Engineering to study Drive Fork Road intersection
Summary
The Harrison City Council approved agreement 42365 with TEC Engineering Inc. to prepare project development for Drive Fork Road and the eastbound ramp; mayor said the city will likely pay up front and seek reimbursement through project proceeds or grants.
Harrison City Council on Monday approved agreement 42365 with TEC Engineering Inc. to prepare project development for improvements at Drive Fork Road and the eastbound interstate ramp. The resolution passed on a roll-call vote after a brief question about funding.
Mayor Ryan Grubbs said the city will "probably have to pay it out first," but that the expense will be integrated into the complete project and reimbursed from project proceeds or grants. A council member asked whether the work will require a city appropriation or be covered by grant funding; the mayor said the procurement approach anticipates upfront payment followed by project funding.
Council did not amend the agreement during the meeting and approved the resolution as presented. The item was introduced by the mayor during the business session and drew no extended opposition.
The resolution is intended to advance preliminary engineering and project development for the intersection and ramp improvements so the city can pursue funding and construct the full project in coming years. The council did not specify a contract award amount on the record during this meeting.
