Clayton County to provide engineering help, cash-flow Oak Street Bridge for City of Volga
Summary
The board agreed June 9 to have the County Engineer provide engineering for Volga’s Oak Street Bridge at no cost to the city while the city covers hole boring, easement and legal fees; the county will cash-flow the project and adjust its Five Year Construction Plan as needed.
The Clayton County Board of Supervisors voted June 9 to have the County Engineer assist the City of Volga with engineering services for the Oak Street Bridge, with the county to cash-flow the project and the city responsible for certain on-the-ground costs.
The board approved a motion by Supervisor Doug Reimer, seconded by Supervisor Steve Doeppke. The motion specifies the County Engineer will provide engineering and administrative assistance at no charge to the City of Volga; the city will pay for hole boring, easement fees and any legal fees that arise. The board recorded ayes from Doeppke, Ray Peterson and Reimer; the motion carried.
County officials said the City of Volga would secure construction funds but could not fund the engineering and administrative costs. Under the approved arrangement the county will cash-flow expenditures initially and make any necessary adjustments to its Five Year Construction Plan to accommodate the project.
The board did not identify a timeline or dollar amounts for the engineering work in the minutes. No county engineer name or contract details were recorded in the meeting transcript. The board’s next procedural step is to implement the cash-flowing and adjust the construction plan as required.
