Commissioners approve final completion report for 2019 Centre County bridge bundle after cost review
Summary
County planners reported two 2025 bridge replacements and three 2024 rehabs under the 2019 bridge bundle; original budget $3.03M, actual cost reported ~ $4.66M, and Centre County contributed roughly $2.53M in combined local funding; commissioners approved the final completion report.
County planning staff presented the final completion report for the 2019 Centre County Bridge Bundle and asked the board to approve final acceptance. The bundle included five projects: three rehabilitation projects completed in 2024 and two replacement projects completed in 2025.
The presenter summarized budget versus actuals: a cited original budget of $3,030,000 and reported actual costs of approximately $4,660,000, a difference the presentation described as an overrun of about $1,630,000. Funding sources noted in the presentation included a $2,070,000 PennDOT multimodal grant, municipal contributions totaling $60,000, Act 13 bridge fund allocations and county fee‑for‑local‑use funds. The presenter reported Centre County’s contribution as approximately $2.53 million (two slightly different figures appeared on slides: $2,563,116.16 and $2,530,261.40 were both mentioned in the presentation slides/transcript) and said $188,355 remained pending payment; after that payment about $32,850 would remain available.
Commissioners thanked staff for completing the multi‑year project, noted the high cost of bridge replacement work and the value of bundling projects. Commissioner (speaker 3) moved to approve the final completion report and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
