Commission approves $20,000 Terracon geotech proposal for Veterans Parkway
Summary
The St. Clair County Commission approved a $20,000 proposal from Terracon for geotechnical engineering on a new segment of Veterans Parkway to address surface/riding problems; the county expects to provide traffic control to lower costs.
The St. Clair County Commission voted to approve a $20,000 geotechnical services proposal from Terracon for a new portion of Veterans Parkway aimed at addressing a reported riding problem.
Commission discussion noted the county could supply traffic control for the three-day field effort, which would reduce cost below the $20,000 quoted amount. The motion to approve the Terracon proposal was made, seconded and passed by voice vote.
County staff said scheduling and crew availability will determine whether county crews provide traffic control. No additional amendments to the contract were made at the meeting; staff will proceed with contracting and notify the commission of any changes in cost or scope.
The geotechnical work is intended to evaluate subsurface conditions and inform potential remedies for the rideability issues on the new roadway segment. The project is funded from routine road project funds; commissioners did not request a separate budget amendment at the time of approval.
