Franklin County pledges up to $300,000 to replace Bridge 7.07.1
Summary
Franklin County commissioners voted May 13 to pledge up to $300,000 to Husker Steel to replace Bridge 7.07.1 near 1525 John Brown Road and authorized $3,500 to CFS Engineers to complete Corps permits and hydrology reports before work begins.
Jeff Welton of the Franklin County Public Works Department told the Board of Franklin County Commissioners on May 13 that the county would pledge up to $300,000 to Husker Steel to replace Bridge 7.07.1, a proposed 50-foot by 28-foot steel-span structure at or near 1525 John Brown Road. Welton also requested $3,500 to pay CFS Engineers to complete Corps permits and hydrology reports before Husker Steel begins on-site work.
Commissioner Ianne Dickinson moved to approve the funding pledge and the engineering payment; Commissioner Colton Waymire seconded. The board voted unanimously to approve the action.
The authorization directs Public Works to provide up to $300,000 for the bridge replacement and to contract CFS Engineers for the permitting work described; the transcript does not record a construction schedule, a start date, or additional funding sources. The board recorded the action as a formal approval without amendment.
The motion and vote were recorded during the meeting at the Franklin County Annex Building Commission Chambers. The record shows the county will complete required permits and hydrology reports before construction proceeds.
