On Jan. 22 the Fayette County Board approved a package of infrastructure contracts and repairs intended to advance the county’s capital projects and address failing infrastructure.
Project Manager Tim Symonds recommended appointing MEJA Construction as Construction Manager at Risk for the Animal Shelter Phase II at a not-to-exceed fee of $292,500. Symonds said MEJA managed a substantial portfolio of projects and had the capacity to support concurrent work; the board approved the appointment 4-0.
Environmental Management Assistant Director Courtney Hassenzahl described a failing Cross Creek Trail culvert made up of four 72-inch corrugated metal pipes; the board awarded Bid #26074-B to Helix Grading & Utility, LLC for $734,625.85 and approved a $35,220 transfer from another stormwater line item to cover the work.
Water Systems Director Vanessa Tigert described SCADA-related Alum System Improvements to allow remote system operation and awarded Bid #26029-B to Bar Environmental Supply Inc. for $229,850. Tigert also briefed the board on a long-delayed repair of a 10-inch water main at Kenwood Road and Morning Creek Bridge; due to depth and site conditions a change order for $362,775 was approved to complete the repair and bore under Morning Creek.
Commissioners voted unanimously on each item. County officials said the work addresses failing infrastructure, improves operational efficiency, and advances planned capital projects.
