County reviews bridge repairs and extends on‑call engineering contract
Summary
Prairie County received an update on two bridge projects and extended its on‑call engineering contract to ensure continuity while design and bidding proceed.
County staff and representatives from Greg West Engineering updated commissioners on two bridge projects and asked for a short extension of the county’s on‑call engineering contract to maintain continuity while designs and bids move forward.
The update covered Highway 340 (a bulk box culvert with an estimated cost of roughly $340,000 and a targeted bid release in April with an anticipated October completion) and Bridge 4084 (where designers continue to evaluate alternatives such as culvert versus pipe/bridge designs). Commissioners voted to extend the on‑call contract with Greg West Engineering as requested to allow engineers to complete the design and bidding tasks without interruption.
The board recorded the contract extension motion and vote: the motion was made, seconded and passed by the commission. Staff were directed to proceed with bid preparation for Highway 340 and to report back on finalized specifications and procurement timelines.
