County to replace Bridge 168; Aegis to design project
Summary
Bridge 168 (CR 450 E over Fall Creek) was found to need replacement; commissioners approved an engineering design contract with Aegis. Construction was estimated at $7.517 million with an 80% federal award and a roughly $1.5 million local match.
The county engineer described Bridge 168, originally built in 1966, as having extensive age-related deterioration of the deck beams and abutments and recommended full replacement rather than further repairs.
Estimated construction cost was given as $7,517,000. The county was awarded $6,013,600 through the federal rural program (about 80% of cost) and would need a local match of roughly $1,503,400 (20%). The board approved an engineering design contract with Aegis (presented amount: $672,450) to carry out design and permitting work.
Commissioners praised the engineering office for securing federal funds and emphasized the high cost of full bridge reconstruction without those grants.
