County approves amendment increasing eligible reimbursement for West Railroad Bridge project to $3.58 million
Summary
Mifflin County accepted PennDOT’s request to amend reimbursement eligibility for the West Railroad Bridge project, raising the reimbursable amount from $826,400 (previous amendment) to $3,577,837 and listing a total project cost of $4,372,437; commissioners approved the amendment to allow payments to contractor and engineer.
County staff told commissioners that PennDOT requested an amendment to the county’s local-sponsor documentation for the West Railroad Bridge project to increase the county’s eligible reimbursement amount.
Staff said Amendment No. 7 listed eligible reimbursement at $826,400 and that Amendment No. 8 would increase that eligible amount to $3,577,837; the total project cost was stated as $4,372,437. The county, acting as local sponsor, is responsible for processing payments to the engineering and construction firms; staff said PennDOT’s change was necessary to allow the county to reimburse the contractor and inspection engineer as the project proceeds.
Commissioners asked questions, then moved and approved the letter of amendment by voice vote. The motion authorizes staff to accept PennDOT’s amendment and adjust the county’s reimbursement request so payments for construction and inspection can proceed. No roll-call vote or named tallies were recorded on the transcript.
