After reviewing three bids, commissioners approved awarding the County Road 17 bridge replacement design contract to SGM for $134,400; staff noted SGM's on‑the‑ground work could shorten delivery time by about two months.

Staff presented three bids for the County Road 17 bridge replacement design: Drexel Barrel & Company at $221,389; Roxul Consulting Group at $226,061.21; and SGM at $134,400. Staff recommended SGM, citing prior work onsite and a shorter projected schedule. A commissioner asked about amounts already paid to SGM for earlier rehabilitation work; staff agreed to follow up with detailed line‑item accounting. The board moved to award the design contract to SGM for $134,400 and approved the motion by roll call.

The board also approved a temporary construction easement with Ian Tucker to provide construction access for the project.
