Mathon told the committee cost "would not exceed $85,000," while contract materials in the packet showed differing not-to-exceed language; the committee gave consensus to recommend approval to the full board.
The Finance Committee reviewed a proposed professional services agreement with WHKS to provide assistant county engineer services at approximately 20 hours per week through Nov. 30, 2025. County Engineer Mark Mathon said the cost "would not exceed $85,000" and proposed funding from the county bridge fund, matching fund and the general highway fund; Dee Rentmeister noted $60,174 is budgeted for engineering tech in the general highway fund.
The meeting packet included WHKS' Professional Services Agreement and a Task Order template; the WHKS materials include language about a not-to-exceed sum of task orders (the packet text lists $110,000 as a not-to-exceed aggregate in the agreement). Committee consensus was to recommend the service agreement with WHKS to the full board for approval. The minutes record the committee asked where funds would come from and identified possible sources; the committee did not finalize a funding motion at this meeting.
