Commission awards geotechnical-services contracts to UES for two bridge replacement designs

Coffey County Commission · July 21, 2026

Summary

Road & Bridge received three bids for geotechnical services on two bridge projects; UES of Manhattan submitted the low bid (~$18,896) and the commission approved awarding both geotechnical contracts, to be paid from the special bridge fund.

The Coffey County Commission approved the Road & Bridge superintendent’s recommendation to award professional geotechnical services for two bridge replacement projects to UES of Manhattan.

The county solicited three bids: UES ($18,896 for both bridges), Terracon (~$22,100) and PSI (~$28,000). Staff noted BG Engineering recommended the firms and that UES was the lowest responsive bidder. The motion to accept the UES bid and direct the Road & Bridge superintendent to sign contract documents passed unanimously; funds will be drawn from the special bridge fund.

Superintendent also reported recent asphalt and shoulder work completed on a previous project and said staff would adjust signage and barricades pending further work and permitting for a separate realignment discussed later in the meeting.
