Bear Drive bridge design work grows after historic designation; amendment adds $25,000 for documentation
Summary
Public Works told commissioners the Bear Drive bridge was found to be historic, triggering additional deliverables and about $25,000 in contract amendments with Anderson Perry; the board approved Amendment No. 1 and noted the expense should be covered by a local bridge grant.
Public Works Director Matt Paulison told the board that Anderson Perry's bridge-design scope for the Bear Drive replacement expanded after the structure was determined to be historic. The historic designation requires site visits, state-level documentation, archival research and digital deliverables.
"So they worked on the design, and then throughout the process it was determined that that bridge is historic," Paulison said, explaining that Amendment No. 1 to the work order would add roughly $25,000 for the additional deliverables. He said the county secured a local-bridge grant that should cover the extra costs; commissioners approved the amendment and authorized the chair to sign the work-order change.
Why it matters: the historic designation alters project scope and schedule, requires specialist work, and adds contract cost that the board must approve.
