Board weighs $10,000 road-assessment pilot and recommends engineer input before contracting
Summary
A vendor and Golden Triangle representatives demoed a road‑assessment web portal combining pavement scores with 360-degree imagery and mapping; presenters asked the county for a $10,000 pilot to tag county assets, while supervisors urged first hiring or consulting a county engineer and aligning the pilot with existing staff priorities.
Presenters demonstrated a road-assessment and asset-inventory web portal that pairs video/360-degree imagery with pavement-scoring and filtering. The vendor described the product as "a tool for you to use in a road assessment" with the ability to generate PDF reports, filter by pavement type and condition, and show videos or photos of a road segment. They proposed a $10,000 pilot to establish an inventory and scores for the county.
Several supervisors and staff urged caution before committing contract funds. One supervisor said the county should either hire a county engineer first or ensure current engineering staff have reviewed the deliverable before authorizing contracted work. After debate, the board voted to authorize the county engineer to move forward with cost assessment, advertising, and preparation of plans to address problem road segments, while staff were asked to return refined cost estimates and clarify how the inventory would be used in project prioritization.
