Counties award Buffalo Gap Road design to Rose Engineering; Billings County accepts matching proposal
Summary
Golden Valley County moved and voted to award its side of the Buffalo Gap Road design to Rose Engineering; Billings County separately moved to accept a proposal for the Uphill/Buffalo Gap Road. Boards emphasized permitting and environmental review remain conditions before construction.
Golden Valley County and Billings County met jointly to select an engineering firm for the Buffalo Gap (Uphill Gap) Road project and voted to move forward with Rose Engineering for the Golden Valley County portion.
A committee member moved "to go with Rose Engineering," the motion was seconded and, after an affirmative voice vote of "aye," the chair declared "Motion carries." On the Billings County side, a separate motion "to accept those proposal[s] for the Gap Road" was made, seconded and carried by voice vote as well.
Officials did not record roll-call vote tallies in the transcript; the proceedings were resolved by voice vote. The boards noted that the selections authorize engineers to proceed with preliminary work but that final construction timing depends on environmental review and any approvals required by the Forest Service and funding outcomes.
Next steps identified by staff include early coordination with the Forest Service on corridor alignment and environmental surveys before final design or bidding.
