Washington County approves revised plans and $2.24 million engineer estimate for Hune Covered Bridge rehab
Summary
The commissioners approved revised plans and specifications for the Hune Covered Bridge rehabilitation, accepted an engineer's estimate of $2,240,021, and set a bid opening for April 28 to re-bid the project with increased ODOT funding.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners on April 2 approved revised plans and specifications for the Hune Covered Bridge Rehabilitation Project and scheduled a new bid opening for April 28 at 10:00 a.m.
The engineer's estimate for the project is $2,240,021. County staff said the project is being re-bid with revisions to the plans and notes to add clarity and to reflect current bid conditions; the minutes note the project received an increase in funding from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to account for current bid conditions and project challenges.
Commissioner Eddie D. Place moved the motion to approve the plans and specifications; Commissioner Ronald G. Nohe seconded the motion. The motion passed on a recorded roll call: Charlie L. Schilling aye; Eddie D. Place aye; Ronald G. Nohe aye.
Why it matters: The rehabilitation of the Hune Covered Bridge is a capital project with a multi-million-dollar engineer estimate and a formal procurement timeline. A re-bid and an ODOT funding increase indicate adjustments to scope or market conditions that could affect the final contract price and schedule.
Next steps: The county will accept bids at the public bid opening scheduled for April 28 at 10 a.m. The County Engineer is responsible for publishing bid documents and managing procurement and reporting back to the board.
