Corps of Engineers study could clarify fixes, timeline; board urged to wait for itemized costs
Summary
County presenters said the Corps will produce itemized costs if the agreement is signed and the City of Coffeyville advances the $25,000 administrative fee; estimates vary from roughly $500,000 to $3,000,000 for the study phase, with construction costs to be determined after design work and appropriations.
Presenters told the board the Corps' study will produce 30–40% complete drawings and an itemized cost list that local entities can use to decide whether to proceed with construction and how to distribute local matching funds. A staff speaker described the study as a multi‑phase process that could take roughly three years and be paid in installments if a local share is required.
The meeting recorded a range of cost scenarios: speakers referenced a possible $500,000 lower bound and a $3,000,000 contract ceiling the Corps uses unless the government approves a higher amount. Presenter also noted that other remedial options—such as a highway adjustment or an additional bridge—might substantially reduce the required levee work if those alternatives prove feasible during the Corps review.
