Spencer County authorizes $57,774.40 for Murray Road slide repairs; multiple vendor quotes reviewed
Summary
Spencer County Fiscal Court approved combined payments totaling $57,774.40 to repair a slide on Murray Road after reviewing multiple quotes (guardrail, piling, drilling and installation). Hennecke Drilling provided a piling/drilling quote; court approved combined expenditures and FEMA-related documentation was entered into the record.
Spencer County Fiscal Court voted April 21 to authorize repairs to a slide on Murray Road, approving combined vendor payments totaling $57,774.40 after reviewing competing quotes for guardrail, piling and drilling.
Road Department staff presented multiple vendor estimates for the emergency repair: guardrail materials and installation quotes from local suppliers, piling and railing material quotes, a Tram Construction piling material quote and a Hennecke Drilling proposal to drill and set piling into bedrock. Two motions on the floor approved payments of approximately $28,630.65 and $29,143.75 (the latter to Hennecke Drilling LLC), and the court combined the motions to authorize the total expenditure of $57,774.40 for repair work related to the Murray Road slide. The minutes show the motions passed with all members present voting in favor.
Why it matters: the slide required immediate remediation to restore roadway safety and maintain critical county access. The packet included FEMA project references and several vendor estimates so that the county could proceed quickly with repairs and track eligibility for reimbursement where appropriate.
Procurement notes: quotes obtained and included in the minutes ranged from used guardrail and splice bolts to drilled piling at 25‑foot sections. The approved amount covers drilling/piling and related installation; the county recorded each vendor quote in the meeting packet for transparency and future audit.
