Board backs competitive highway bridge grant for two bridges near Bronson; county accepts subrecipient role
Summary
Woodbury County approved a resolution and cooperative agreement to participate as a subrecipient in a Competitive Highway Bridge Program (CHBP) bundle that would fund two bridges (FHWA 053490 and 053510) near Bronson, acknowledging matching‑fund responsibilities and Iowa DOT primary‑recipient terms.
The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution and letter of support to participate in a Competitive Highway Bridge Program (CHBP) grant bundle that includes two county bridges near Bronson (FHWA numbers 053490 and 053510).
Laura Severs of Secondary Roads told the board the project could secure roughly $1 million in federal funding for the two structures; because the county would be a subrecipient with the Iowa Department of Transportation as primary recipient, Woodbury County would be responsible for matching funds and any costs beyond the grant award. The resolution accepts contracting authority for the bundle and authorizes the board chair to sign the cooperative agreement and associated correspondence.
Supervisor Binger moved approval; the motion passed 4–0. Severs noted the county must abide by federal design and procurement requirements tied to the grant and that local matching obligations will be spelled out in the federal‑aid agreement if the grant is awarded.
