Madison County approves road and bridge contracts and renovation change orders
Summary
Supervisors approved multiple transportation and construction items on June 15, including state-aid road advertisements, consultant selections, final plat approval for West Point phase 1, supplemental agreements to redesign Striven Road projects, a bridge release order, and a change order on Stokes Road bridge deck replacement; several cost figures in the transcript were unclear and flagged for verification.
Madison County supervisors on June 15 approved a package of infrastructure items that includes road project advertisements, consultant selections, plats and change orders.
County staff asked the board to advertise for state aid project 4524M for Orchard Road (mill and overlay), select Neil Schaefer for CNI services on Catlet Road improvements (state aid project 6984-01), and approve Yandell Road improvements. The board approved these motions by voice vote.
The board approved the final plat for West Point phase 1, a 43-lot subdivision on about 35.57 acres, accepting a letter of credit for required improvements.
For Striven Road, the board approved two supplemental agreements to redesign segments from five lanes to three lanes citing redistributed traffic demand. Contract amounts were cited in the discussion, but several numeric values in the transcript were not unambiguously rendered; staff should confirm contract sums in the official record.
On bridges, the board approved a final order releasing a contractor from further maintenance on a local bridge project and authorized the board president to sign the acceptance letter. The board also approved a change order for the Stokes Road bridge deck replacement; staff said the project required special 15-foot slabs sourced from another state and asked for a materials-cost increase, but the transcript renders the dollar figure unclearly.
Separately, the board approved a change order for courthouse renovation work to add an HVAC unit to Building B, perform slab replacement (about $12,000 cited in the discussion), and remove and replace unsuitable fill; staff said the items are within project contingency.
What happens next: staff will proceed with procurement and contract administration and will present clarified costs and contract documents in the official minutes for public record and audit.
