Daniels County signs notice to proceed with Cold Creek Bridge replacement
Summary
The commission authorized a notice to proceed with Sentry Companies for the Cold Creek Bridge project and discussed timing, contract value (the contract referenced at about $1.5 million plus prior structure payments) and safety features such as guardrails.
Daniels County commissioners approved a notice to proceed with Sentry Companies to replace the Cold Creek Bridge and discussed construction timing, costs and surfacing choices.
Meeting materials and discussion referenced a contract value in the neighborhood of $1.5 million and a previously paid sum of roughly $200,000 for the bridge structure. Commissioners discussed surfacing and a $179,000 concrete bridge deck line item that appears in the contract documents and confirmed the contractor planned to start demolition the week of Aug. 5.
"The contractor wishes to begin the week of August 5th; they'll begin with the demolition of the existing bridge," one commissioner said as the board reviewed the notice to proceed. The board asked about guardrails and width (participants discussed a 24-foot width) and confirmed arrangements for the contractor to pick up bridge components.
A motion to sign the notice to proceed was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote with no opposition recorded in the transcript. Commissioners asked staff to keep bridge-related contract documents on file and to monitor the pre-construction schedule and payment items noted in the packet.
No formal timeline beyond the demolition start was finalized in the meeting; commissioners and staff agreed to let the contractor proceed and to track required pay requests and project addenda through the county's usual payment and reporting process.
