Carter County commissioners approve more than $5.5 million in disaster-recovery contracts and invoices
Summary
At a June 5 special session, the Carter County Board of Commissioners approved a package of disaster-recovery payments and contracts — including more than $2.27 million for Shell Creek road repairs and multiple engineering invoices and temporary bridge rentals tied to FEMA DR-4832.
The Carter County Board of Commissioners on June 5 approved a series of motions authorizing payments and contracts tied to the county’s ongoing disaster response and recovery for DR-4832.
The board unanimously approved a $2,273,482.50 contract with Summers & Taylor Inc. to repair Shell Creek Road and multiple associated measures, and separately approved estimated resurfacing contracts with Summers-Taylor for Shell Creek, Heaton Creek and Hampton Creek totaling more than $1.8 million in construction work. Commissioners also approved contracts to stabilize streambanks through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), engineering invoices for three bridge projects, and a set of smaller operational and professional services payments.
Why it matters: The votes advance repair work and professional services financed in part through FEMA rapid funding and related emergency lines established after severe flooding tied to Hurricane Helene. The approved work includes temporary bridge rentals, geotechnical testing, engineering design invoices and major road-repair contracts that the county has described as necessary to restore access and repair slope failures.
