Boone County approves consulting agreements and project funding, including roundabout contract with local match
Summary
The Boone County commissioners approved a series of consultant contracts and project agreements July 6, including a USI consultant agreement for the 300/975 roundabout (total contract now exceeds $863,700 with $279,685.70 local funds), a $134,999.45 maintenance bond for Wind Sweep Farms storm drains, BF&S task order for Comcast inspection (not to exceed $19,600), and two Hanson agreements for small-structure work (each $20,850 not-to-exceed).
The Boone County Board of Commissioners approved multiple contracts and project agreements at its July 6 meeting, clearing the way for a roundabout project, storm-drain maintenance bonding and several consultant tasks.
Mike Oralski (S10) asked the board to execute a local-public-agency consultant agreement with USI Consultants for Project 202217, the roundabout at 300 and South of 975. Oralski said the project had been seeking funding for four years, that state and federal awards total $584,014.30, and that the total contract now exceeds $863,700 with the remaining $279,685.70 coming from local funds. Commissioners approved the agreement by voice vote.
Staff also presented a maintenance bond for Wind Sweep Farms Section 2 storm drains in the amount of $134,999.45; the board approved the bond. County highway staff (S6) requested execution of a BF&S inspection task order tied to Comcast’s right‑of‑way permit 202610023 for a broadband installation in Jefferson Township; inspection services were approved as a reimbursable task not to exceed $19,600 without prior authorization. Jerry Larson (S8) requested execution of two service agreements with Hanson Consulting Engineers for small-structure replacements (UN023 and CL036), each carrying a $20,850 not-to-exceed amount and an $8,000 contingency; these agreements were approved.
Separately, the board approved a services agreement with Baker Tilly through the end of the year, presented by Jennifer Hofstadter (S9).
The approvals were handled as routine new-business items and were adopted by voice votes; recorded tallies were not specified in the public transcript. Several items are reimbursable or carry contingencies and staff noted the need for prior authorization for work exceeding stated limits.
