Commissioners authorize INDOT coordination contract for Bridge 165; highway officials cite $92,000 federal award
Summary
Miami County commissioners authorized the chair to sign an INDOT coordination contract for Bridge 165 after Highway Department staff noted inspection by BF&S and a $92,000 federal award; the department also reported renewed competitive funding opportunities for CCMG applications.
The Miami County Board of Commissioners on March 16 authorized the chairman to sign an INDOT coordination contract for Bridge 165, a move Highway Department representatives said is tied to a $92,000 federal award noted in the contract pricing. Highway staff told commissioners the contract follows standard INDOT coordination practices and includes inspection services by BF&S.
Chad Watson and Janice Hughes of the Highway Department told the board the department has advertised the project and that plans from a prior application are ready for submission. Janice Hughes said CCMG program funding availability had improved, citing a $75 million increase in competitive access after earlier cuts, and that timely application submission could affect approval chances. The motion to authorize the chair to sign passed 3-0 (moved by Commissioner Mark Horner, seconded by Commissioner Brenda Weaver).
