Gage County approves preliminary engineering agreements for Adams Bypass and Hickory Road projects
Summary
The board approved preliminary engineering and environmental agreements for the Adams Bypass (DPS-3437) and Hickory Road (DPS-3227) projects and selected preapproved engineers and environmental services (Spies Lewis for engineering; HDR for environmental services). Multiple related resolutions passed unanimously.
The Gage County Board of Supervisors approved preliminary engineering and environmental-service agreements tied to two road projects: the Adams Bypass (project DPS-3437) and Hickory Road concrete improvements (project DPS-3227). Supervisors explained both grants are being run through different federal/state programs (NDOT and HUD processes differ) and that selecting NDOT-preapproved firms avoids a time-consuming new RFQ process.
For the Adams Bypass (DPS-3437) the board approved selecting Spies Lewis for engineering and HDR for environmental services so the project can move forward under NDOT’s preapproved list; motions recorded 7-0. The board also approved HDR Engineering, Inc. for environmental services related to project DPS-3227 (Hickory Road), and signed related resolutions (BK reference numbers and resolution numbers cited on the agenda). Supervisors emphasized this paperwork is necessary to keep grant timelines and project schedules on track.
Votes on the individual resolutions and agreements were unanimous during the meeting; supervisors noted the approvals are largely procedural to allow grant-funded work to proceed through the appropriate state and federal channels.
