County engineers outline Carpio, Pleasant and White Ash bridge projects; preliminary costs and schedules discussed
Summary
Wold Engineering told Renville County commissioners the Carpio bridge replacement will go to bid in April with mid‑summer construction planned; Pleasant Bridge removal is funded through the Flexible Transportation Fund but the county must cover preliminary engineering; White Ash Township project is fully state‑funded and will require an RFP for construction engineering.
Wold Engineering representatives updated the Board on three bridge projects during meetings Feb. 3 and Feb. 17. Jason Mayfield reported the Carpio bridge replacement will be put out for bid in April with an anticipated mid‑summer start date. Kent Indvik told commissioners the Pleasant Bridge removal has been approved for funding through the Flexible Transportation Fund—Grants for Bridges program but that the county will be responsible for preliminary engineering costs. Indvik also said the White Ash Township bridge is fully funded by the state and the county must issue a Request for Proposals for construction engineering.
Commissioners did not record a formal vote to commit additional county funding beyond the preliminary engineering obligation for Pleasant Bridge in the minutes; next steps identified were preparing the RFP for White Ash and monitoring the April bid opening for Carpio.
