Union County approves DOT swap, bridge deletions and contracts for culvert and structure replacement
Summary
The County approved a $237,586.93 DOT STP swap supplement, authorized engineering and construction contracts for structure 64-042-050, and approved a resolution deleting an earlier bridge from the National Bridge Inventory on Sept. 30, 2025.
Union County commissioners on Sept. 30 approved a series of highway and bridge actions aimed at replacing aging structures and aligning county records with recent work.
The board voted to accept an automatic budget supplement of $237,586.93 for a Department of Transportation (DOT) State STP swap, a funding adjustment that commissioners recorded as revenue received June 23, 2025. Commissioners also approved a professional services and equipment agreement with Ulteig Operations, LLC for construction engineering and project management to replace structure 64-042-050 with a precast box culvert. The board then approved a separate contract with Scott Persing (Persing Excavating) for BRF 6372(00)25-5 to install the 4‑14' x 11' precast box culvert and perform approach grading under the BIG Replacement Grant.
Separately, commissioners approved RESOLUTION HD2025-07 to delete structure 64-088-090 (5S & 0.2W Alcester) from the National Bridge Inventory after the structure was replaced with an RCBC that falls below NBIS length requirements. Motions to approve these items were carried; recorded movers and seconders appear in the minutes.
Also during highway business, the board approved a permit allowing Union County Electric to cross County Road #1B to serve a customer and confirmed consent to project-level agreements needed for bridge and approach work.
Why it matters: The actions authorize funded engineering and construction work to replace an identified structure, align county bridge inventories with field conditions, and preserve eligibility for state and federal programs tied to STP/BRF funding. Next steps include project management by Ulteig and construction by Persing Excavating; the county listed the contract and grant identifiers in the minutes.
Votes and procedural notes: Each listed motion was recorded as carried in the minutes; the resolution and contracts were approved by majority vote with movers and seconders identified in the record. The minutes do not list individual commissioner vote tallies.
