Lancaster County approves $199,869.54 transportation study and appraisal agreements for Arbor Road Bridge
Summary
The Board approved a Benesch contract not to exceed $199,869.54 to update Lancaster County’s 2018 transportation strategy and completed approvals for appraisal and review agreements tied to the federally funded Arbor Road Bridge project.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners on March 3 approved a set of infrastructure contracts including a $199,869.54 agreement with Benesch to update the county’s 2018 transportation strategy and conduct a 140th/148th Street corridor study to inform East Beltway funding efforts.
Pam Dingman, County Engineer, said the study will evaluate system preservation, optimization and growth, and assess infrastructure conditions and needed improvements. Dingman told the board $150,000 had been budgeted for the work and an additional $50,000 would be allocated from the East Beltway fund to cover the total contract price.
The board also approved two appraisal-related agreements required for the federally funded Arbor Road Bridge project: an appraisal review agreement with RL Keith Consultant Inc. not to exceed $825 and an appraisal services agreement with Kubert Appraisal Group not to exceed $3,200. Dalton Hoferer, County Engineering Right-of-Way Manager, said the agreements are routine components of project appraisal and right-of-way work.
Commissioner Rick Vest moved and Commissioner Matt Schulte seconded approval of the Benesch contract; the motion carried 5-0. Vest moved and Commissioner Chelsea Johnson seconded approval for the appraisal agreements; both motions passed by unanimous votes. County staff said the contracts will support engineering, right-of-way and corridor planning steps that feed into East Beltway funding requests.
