Board approves adding 8 Milepost Road to resurfacing project and related patching
Summary
After acknowledging an earlier engineer paperwork error, commissioners approved adding resurfacing and patching for 8 Milepost Road and sections of Needham Road to a Beach/Lucy Moore Road contract; staff said available 2025 LRA funds can cover the engineer's high-end estimate.
Commissioners approved adding a section of 8 Milepost Road and associated patching on Needham Road to a resurfacing contract that already covers Beach Road and Lucy Moore Road. Staff explained the original bid paperwork had the wrong start/finish points and the engineer proposed swapping sections to address the areas of greatest need; the board approved the revised scope and authorized advertising/bid steps.
An engineer explained the revised scope and acknowledged that the estimate included a worst-case, high-end number to ensure coverage. The county manager and commissioners agreed funds available in the 2025 LRA account could be used to cover the work and directed staff to proceed with bid advertisement and contracting.
Why it matters: Adding the section and patching addresses localized pavement failures and lets the county complete nearby work while crews are mobilized, potentially lowering total mobilization costs.
Next steps: Staff will advertise the amended project for bids and return to the board with contract recommendations.
