Commissioners approve release of $4.45 million permit bond tied to Blackfin Sheridan lateral pipeline work
Summary
Colorado County Commissioners voted 5–0 to release Superheavy/Oversize Permit Bond No. 101266762 posted by Troy Construction, LLC for road use tied to the Blackfin Sheridan Lateral Pipeline project; minutes include the bond text and multiple road‑use agreements that require contractor repair of road damage and performance bonds.
The Colorado County Commissioners Court approved the release of Superheavy or Oversize Permit Bond No. 101266762 posted by Troy Construction, LLC for work on county roads in precincts 1, 2 and 4 related to the Blackfin Sheridan Lateral Pipeline Project.
Minutes attached to the Nov. 24 meeting show the bond amount as $4,450,000 and include detailed road‑use agreements. The agreements state county roads have a 58,420‑pound weight limit and cite Transportation Code §251.160 to place responsibility for repairs on the permit holder. Agreements also require pre‑work inspections, documentation of road conditions, repairs within 60 days after drilling operations conclude, and a performance bond requirement (minutes list $2,500 per mile and $2,500 per boring in certain permit forms).
Commissioner Darrell Gertson made the motion to approve the bond release; Commissioner Shannon Owers seconded; the court recorded five ayes and no nays. The minutes incorporate the full bond language, notary attestations, and several signed road‑use agreements that the county will use to enforce restoration obligations.
The court’s action is ministerial in the minutes (release following required conditions); the record preserves bond and agreement language for future enforcement should road damage arise.
