Summary

Road and Bridge staff presented a $13,700 engineering services agreement for crack sealing, requested authorization to publish a $500,000 call for bids to crush and stockpile gravel at the old Steel Bridge pit, and gave the department's February operations report; commissioners approved both items.

Commissioners approved several Road and Bridge items March 3, including a professional services agreement for crack-seal project engineering and authorization to publish a call for bids for crushing material at the old Steel Bridge pit.

Dave Frunty, Road and Bridge, said the agreement with Robert Pesha & Associates covers preparation of bid documents, construction oversight and closeout for crack sealing with a not-to-exceed fee of $13,700. Frunty also requested authorization to publish a call for bids for crushing and stockpiling materials for chip sealing and winter-maintenance sand; he proposed a $500,000 project budget using federal SRS carryover and current-year funds to produce chips and sand and aimed for contractor completion by June 30.

Frunty provided a departmental update for February noting increased brush-cutting hours (~1,800 more hours year-to-date versus the prior year), early-season sweeping, and routine safety topics. Commissioners approved the RPA contract and the call for bids by unanimous vote.
