Polk County awards $436,800 contract to Neel‑Schaffer to replace Government Farm Road bridge
Summary
Polk County commissioners approved awarding engineering and construction administration and inspection services for the Government Farm Road bridge replacement to Neel‑Schaffer for $436,800 (engineering $316,000; administration & inspection $120,800); board vote was unanimous.
Polk County commissioners voted March 3 to award engineering, construction administration and inspection services for replacement of the Government Farm Road bridge over Euharlee Creek to Neel‑Schaffer for a total of $436,800.
The board record shows the award splits into $316,000 for engineering work and $120,800 for engineering administration and inspection services. Commissioners said the recommendation followed a review of proposals received.
The existing structure is a single‑span, single‑lane bridge limited to nine tons by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), a restriction that prevents school buses and heavier vehicles from using the crossing. The replacement project is intended to address that limitation.
Commissioner Michael Gravett moved to approve the contract award and Commissioner John Paschal seconded; the motion passed unanimously by the commissioners present.
The minutes do not record a contract start date or construction schedule; award of professional services was the board’s formal action at the meeting.
