Board accepts Debuke Road box culvert replacement, authorizes final payment
Summary
County Engineer Kathy Nicholas told supervisors K Construction completed the Debuke Road box culvert replacement on time and within ~2% of contract cost; the board approved final acceptance and release of retainage and a final payment of $15,150.35 toward a total project cost reported at about $495,774.
County Engineer Kathy Nicholas presented the Debuke Road box culvert replacement project (BRS-C00007), showing before-and-after photos and inspection findings that prompted replacement. She said the previous box culvert dated to about 68 years, had been rated "poor" in the 2023 inspection, and displayed structural deterioration including exposed rebar and spalling concrete.
Nicholas described the replacement as a twin reinforced-concrete box culvert sized to current standards and said the contractor, K Construction, began work in June, completed the project within the contractual schedule and was about 2% over the original contract amount. She recommended final acceptance, release of retainage and authorization for final payment in the amount of $15,150.35 toward a reported total project cost of approximately $495,774. The engineer said the new structure is expected to have roughly a 75-year service life. The board voted to accept the work and close out the project.
The presentation included construction details (dewatering, demolition of the old box, new wing walls, riprap at inlet/outlet and asphalt paving) and project-management notes such as liquidated-damages terms (specified but not assessed).
