County approves Forest Service cooperative agreement to fund mag‑chloride road work (not to exceed $42,320 federal obligation)
Summary
Commissioners approved an updated agreement with the U.S. Forest Service to fund mag‑chloride treatment and road maintenance for forest access roads; staff said the paperwork shows federal planning funds obligated up to $42,320 to reimburse actual costs.
Beaver County commissioners on March 17 approved an updated cooperative agreement with the U.S. Forest Service to support road maintenance and surface treatment work (mag chloride) on county access routes to Forest Service lands.
County staff described the agreement as an update to a previously signed instrument and said the paperwork indicates federal funds will reimburse actual costs "not to exceed $42,320," a figure read from the grant documents during discussion. Staff explained the agreement is a pass‑through model: the county performs eligible work and invoices the Forest Service for reimbursement up to the capped amount.
Details discussed during the meeting included potential contracting options for applying mag chloride (county crews or hired contractors), itemized invoicing requirements tied to equipment hours and proof of payment, and the timing to apply the product before heavy summer traffic. County commissioners voted to approve the agreement unanimously.
Staff said they will follow up on invoicing requirements and will return final signatures and documentation as needed.
