Board approves final certification for Oakland Drive bridge project
Summary
Houston County approved Resolution 2620 certifying final contract work on the Oakland Drive bridge project, with the county recording $615,234.68 in certified work and praising contractor Minnowa Construction. Commissioners noted minor flood-related damage adjacent to the roadway but agreed work is complete.
The Houston County Board of Commissioners voted to approve Resolution 2620, certifying final completion for SAP 028-599-101, the Oakland Drive bridge reconstruction. County staff reported the work certified at $615,234.68 and said the contractor, Minnowa Construction, performed well overall.
"So, this is the bridge reconstruction on Oakland Drive," said Brian, the staff presenter, who added that the project had appeared on the county's annual report. Brian told the board the original contract had been $629,999.99 but that the certified work totaled $615,234.68. Commissioners praised the wider clear span, said the bridge withstood recent flooding, and approved the resolution by voice vote. The board discussed a small amount of gravel displacement on the roadway after the June 2 rain but agreed the damage was outside the scope of the certified work.
The approval closes the county's contract with Minnowa and establishes final project records and vegetation restoration. No amendments or follow-up motions were recorded at the time of the vote.
