Commissioners approve several road and infrastructure contracts, table impact-fee study for review
Summary
The board approved engineering and reconstruction contracts for Highway 150, Baylor Wissman Road and Bridge 38, totaling multi-hundred-thousand-dollar projects; a countywide road impact fee study contract was tabled pending jurisdiction language and cost questions.
Nick Creevy, director of Building and Development Services, presented multiple contracts for county infrastructure work. The board approved a Strand engineering contract for a Highway 150 connector project totaling $393,443.50 (county share $78,750), a $215,675 DLZ Indiana contract to reconstruct Baylor Wissman Road (county share $54,194), and an HMB contract for Bridge 38 totaling $450,240 with a county share of $90,240; each motion passed unanimously.
Creevy also described a proposed $116,900 contract with United to perform a road impact fee study scoped to Highlander Point and Edwardsville growth districts. Committee member Dale Mann questioned whether a narrow scope would recoup costs and commissioners asked United to correct a jurisdiction reference (to Floyd County rather than Marion County). Commissioners tabled the impact-fee contract for further review and asked for an update in July or August.
