Commissioners approve $49,695.60 Shawnee County bridge contract; counselor flags inspector wording
Summary
The board approved a $49,695.60 Shawnee County 94th bridge contract but County Counselor Todd Luckman raised concerns that the BG Consulting contract names BG as the inspector rather than specifying oversight in the county's interest and recommended on-site oversight by county‑knowledgeable staff.
County Counselor Todd Luckman told commissioners he reviewed both the Shawnee County bridge contract and the BG Consulting contract and said the BG language for construction observation indicates the inspector would be for BG, not necessarily acting on the county's behalf. He recommended adding on‑site oversight by someone with working knowledge of county interests.
Despite that concern, the board approved the Shawnee County 94th bridge contract for $49,695.60 by a 3–0 vote. Luckman said he will ask BG to provide the Stumbo contract version and seek clarifying language on inspection and oversight.
