Board appoints Barr Engineering to prepare repair report for Judicial Ditch #10
Summary
Faribault County appointed Mark Origer of Barr Engineering on Feb. 3 to prepare a Repair Report for Judicial Ditch #10 and set engineer duties including oath, insurance, and biweekly expense reporting; minutes note televising showed the system in disrepair and landowners favoring a large repair.
The Faribault County Drainage Authority voted unanimously to appoint Mark Origer of Barr Engineering as the project engineer to prepare a Repair Report for Judicial Ditch #10. The minutes state inspections and televising in fall 2025 found the system in disrepair and that landowners favored repairing the tile system as one large project; the board also noted that estimated repair costs exceed the sealed-bid threshold under Minn. Stat. § 471.345, subd. 3.
The order enumerates duties for the appointed engineer: subscribe to an oath and file a certificate of liability insurance listing Faribault County as certificate holder within 10 days, the ability to appoint and remove assistant engineers, and a requirement to file an expense report every two weeks until construction contract award.
