Summary
Washington County's engineer told supervisors the county requested $1,254,333 in LFP funds for Huntington Point Road, reported nine bridges advertised last year (six under construction) and said bids and awards for three bridges will return to the board in February.
County Engineer (Speaker 9) provided a detailed project update to the board. He said the county advertised nine bridges last year, has six currently under construction and expects bids on three more this month. On Huntington Point Road, he said the county submitted a Local Federal Project (LFP) request for $1,254,333 and that the request was authorized. "We asked for $1,254,333. They authorized that," he said.
He told supervisors that once bids are received the county will adjust the authorized amount up or down depending on bid results and will return to the board for awards in February. He also described additional bridge projects—Hanley Road, Baker Road and Burdette Road—and noted temporary delays where stone yards or contractors were unavailable through the holidays.
The engineer described work on other locally funded projects (NRCS-funded projects and an animal-shelter planning effort) and asked the board for authority to advertise Collier Road conditioned on receiving final state funds and final assemblies.
What’s next: the county engineer will advertise as authorized, seek additional state funds where needed and return to the board with bids and award recommendations at the first February meeting.
