Commissioners approve expedited repairs for Bridge 114 on 600 W
Summary
The highway superintendent presented an engineer's estimate and the commission approved repairs for Bridge 114 to be completed in 3–5 months rather than a multi‑year timeline; guardrail quotes will be solicited separately.
Bob Howell, highway superintendent, briefed the commissioners on an engineer's estimate for Bridge 114 on 600 W and said the estimate did not include guardrail costs. Howell said an expedited repair approach could complete work in roughly 3–5 months rather than the 2–3 year timeline for a longer project.
Commissioner Rex Journay moved to proceed with repairs on Bridge 114; Commissioner Brian McGalliard seconded and the motion passed by unanimous vote on Nov. 6. Howell later told the Nov. 12 meeting that interested contractors have until Nov. 21 to submit quotes for installation of guardrail and that he will gather guardrail quotes for the board.
The minutes do not list specific contract awards or final contract amounts for the bridge work; commissioners approved moving forward with the repair plan and directed staff to collect guardrail quotes and contractor bids.
