The Whitley County Drainage Board approved several consent items and construction contracts during its meeting.
The board approved a residential deck and pool setback request at the south end of Loom Lake (Stangland #31) for Terry and Judy Hoffman by voice vote after a motion and second.
The board also granted a consent for a utility boring under the Blue River for Helix Engineering to service a new school career building; staff said the boring will be approximately 6 feet below the river bottom.
For the Global 34 construction project, the board approved three separate contracts: L I Excavating LLC for labor at $2,029,588.50; Bowman/Boffman Tile for pipe with a total quoted price of $25,923.35; and Bailey Trucking for backfill at $20.50 (unit not specified in the record). Each award was moved, seconded and approved by voice votes.
Board members discussed schedules and noted the labor contractor expects to begin work in the near term, with some items staged and a projected start date listed for early spring on certain components. No dissenting votes were recorded on these consent and contract approvals.
