Summary
Supervisors approved a federal-aid funding agreement for the N16 Washington Bridge replacement and signed a $200 right-of-way contract with Carol and Belinda Kopaska for the W36 Lincoln Bridge; Engineer Nick Kauffman reviewed the five-year construction program and flagged limited rock supply.
The Adair County Board of Supervisors on March 25 approved a Federal Aid Funding Agreement for the N16 Washington Bridge replacement project (BROS-C001(128)—8J-01) and authorized a right-of-way payment of $200 to Carol and Belinda Kopaska for the W36 Lincoln Bridge project.
Engineer Nick Kauffman reviewed the county’s Five-Year Construction Program for the board, noting potential additions such as White Pole Road pending coordination with Guthrie County. He described ongoing stabilization work on County Line/Orange Avenue, continuing work on W9 Lincoln and pile work performed by contractor Govig. Kauffman also told the board that a limited rock supply from the quarry is affecting stockpiles, which could influence scheduling or material sourcing.
The right-of-way contract for the W36 Lincoln Bridge (L-LBRW36L—73-01) was approved and signed; the minutes record a $200 payment to Carol and Belinda Kopaska for the needed parcel. Both bridge-related motions were moved by Baier, seconded by Christoffersen and approved unanimously.
Why it matters: Approval of the federal-aid agreement enables engineering and procurement steps for the Washington Bridge replacement; the ROW purchase clears title issues needed for construction access and project progress.
