County authorizes bridge inspections, repairs and a small property purchase for bridge work
Summary
Commissioners approved inspections for County Bridges 122 and 192, a $15,249.59 work order for repairs to Bridge 70 and authorized a temporary easement and the purchase of 3,698 sq ft for right-of-way for County Bridge 73 for $2,800.
At their Feb. 3 meeting, Northumberland County commissioners authorized multiple actions tied to bridges and right-of-way for county roadways.
The board approved a proposal from Wilson Consulting Group to perform inspections on County Bridge 122 and County Bridge 192 and approved work order #02 from Wilson for additional repairs on County Bridge 70. The repair work was described as to be performed by Medici Inc. (DuPont) at a cost of $15,249.59, and commissioners approved that expenditure by voice vote.
For County Bridge 73 (North 8th Street in the City of Shamokin), commissioners approved a temporary easement for construction with the borough/city and authorized execution of an agreement of sale to purchase 3,698 square feet required for right-of-way. The purchase price cited in the meeting record is $2,800. Commissioners discussed that Bridge 73 is an older structure requiring decking replacement while abutments will remain, and noted the bridge serves as a county arterial behind railroad tracks near the former high school site in Shamokin.
All bridge-related motions on the agenda were moved and passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the meeting record.
Next steps noted in the meeting: execution of inspection agreements and authorization of Medici Inc. to perform work per the approved work order; the board did not set explicit completion dates in the discussion recorded in the minutes.
