County authorizes state-led letting for Walnut-area bridge; county share estimated at ~$164,000
Summary
Road and bridge staff told commissioners KDOT will manage construction and pay $900,000 in hard construction costs; the county's share beyond that was estimated at about $164,000 and commissioners authorized the state to proceed with letting (project letting scheduled Aug. 20).
County road and bridge staff updated the Crawford County Commission on a bridge project 27 miles east of Walnut and asked the commission to authorize the state to proceed with the contract letting.
The staff presenter said KDOT is managing the project and selected Cook, Flat & Strobel for construction engineering and inspection work. "Their, their total project hours is $1,101," the presenter said during the briefing, then explained the state's and county's shares. "The state will pay 900,000 hard costs," staff said; staff estimated the county's share over that state amount would be roughly $164,000 depending on bid results.
Staff said right-of-way purchases, utility relocations and some preliminary engineering are complete and that KDOT would start the formal letting on Aug. 20. Commissioners asked about who paid for right-of-way and fencing; staff confirmed those are local costs. The commission then moved and seconded a request to allow the state to proceed with letting.
The decision authorizes the state-managed procurement to go forward; final county obligations will be determined once bids are opened and the county's budget process confirms available funds.
