Commissioners approve $8,500 geotechnical contract for Frontier Road bridge
Summary
The board unanimously approved an $8,500 contract with Terracon for geotechnical core sampling at the Frontier Road bridge. The work will inform pile-driving depth and foundation design for the proposed bridge project.
The commission approved a geotechnical engineering services contract with Terracon for the Frontier Road bridge site. Committee member (speaker 4) moved to award Terracon $8,500 for core sampling and related geotechnical investigation; Committee member (speaker 10) seconded the motion, and the board approved by voice vote.
“I need to make a motion to approve the geotechnical engineering services for Terracon for the amount of $8,500 for the bridge on Frontier Road,” Committee member (speaker 4) said when introducing the agenda item. The consultant clarified that the team will take core samples at the proposed site to determine subsurface conditions and recommended pilot pile depths; the work is scoped to inform a subsequent design phase.
Why it matters: geotechnical data will determine foundation type and construction approach, influencing procurement, budget and schedule for the Frontier Road bridge. County public‑works staff said crews have been documenting road damage post‑storm and will coordinate sampling around work already underway.
