Nelson County to use ARPA funds for chip‑and‑seal work; multiple road maintenance actions approved
Summary
The county approved an ARPA‑funded chip‑and‑seal project on County Roads 35 and 18, authorized an engineering RFP for two bridge projects, ordered road striping and mowing notices, and approved related motions unanimously.
Nelson County commissioners approved several road and bridge actions at their Sept. 7, 2022 meeting, including authorizing engineering work, using ARPA funds for chip‑and‑seal pavement work, and ordering maintenance notices.
County staff member Seth Hamre described plans to remove the Quanbeck Bridge south of McVille and replace the Flaagan Bridge southwest of Tolna; the board authorized Hamre to place a request for proposals seeking engineering services for both bridges. Hamre also recommended chip‑and‑seal resurfacing for County Road 35 (from McVille to County Road 4) and County Road 18 south of McVille; commissioners voted to use ARPA federal funds for that project.
The commission directed staff to place newspaper notices requiring roadside mowing by Oct. 1 and removal of hay bales from ditches by Nov. 1, and voted to have center/edge striping redone on County Road 4 and County Road 35 North to Highway 1 after Hamre reported those roads need new lines. The board recorded unanimous votes on these motions.
The board authorized routine administrative items related to roads and bridges without specifying dollar amounts in the meeting record. The transcript does not list the ARPA allocation amount for the chip‑and‑seal project or vendor details for striping and engineering services; those details would be determined through the RFP process and later budget actions.
