Residency reports: Buckskin Creek patching, upcoming surface treatments and sidewalk bids (UPC 121962)
Summary
Assistant residency administrator Adam Brooks told the board secondary and primary mowing cycles are complete, Buckskin Creek patching is done and surface treatment is expected in late July/early August, and the Phase 1 Amelia sidewalk project (UPC 121962) received bids with a likely low bid in the awardable range.
Adam Brooks, assistant residency administrator, delivered the monthly residency report to the Amelia County Board of Supervisors, highlighting several completed maintenance tasks and near-term work.
Brooks said secondary mowing cycles and Buckskin Creek patching have been completed; surface treatment for the Buckskin Creek area is likely scheduled for late July or early August and is handled by a separate contract. He reported regrading work on Stony Point Road and Bunker Hill Road and two completed pipe replacements on Green Street and Drunkard Road. Brooks advised that patching at the Dennisville/5 Forks intersection will be done in advance of a sidewalk project and that the Phase 1 Amelia sidewalk project (UPC 121962) received three bids, with the apparent low bid within an awardable range and likely to be recommended for contract award.
Brooks also noted mowing schedules in advance of a local fair and that some surface-treatment work will start Friday of the reporting week, with expected completion the following Monday. Supervisors thanked staff for the work on Buckskin Creek and asked for coordination on traffic and truck safety on rural routes; Brooks also said the residency will follow up on traffic-mitigation options and enforcement as appropriate.
Why it matters: These maintenance and capital actions affect road safety, project timing and scheduling for sidewalk improvements tied to UPC 121962; the sidewalk bid outcome will determine contract award timing and construction sequencing. The board requested continued updates on CIP projects and a clearer schedule of progress and expenditures.
Next steps: Staff will recommend an award for the sidewalk project once procurement checks are complete and will schedule surface treatment, patching and associated traffic control as reported.
