Commissioners review culvert and drainage problems; AA Rd tube bids recorded
Summary
Commissioners flagged clogged and damaged tubes on multiple roads and recorded two contractor quotes for an AA Rd tube: $36,350.00 for a 50'-8 ft tube with wingwall and $28,780.00 for a 60'-6 ft tube with wingwall.
Drainage and culvert repairs were a central part of the Smith County Commissioners’ Jan. 20 discussion. Commissioner Brady Peterson reported trees growing in the ditch on 50 Rd between BB Rd and Highway 281 are contributing to debris buildup in a culvert, and he urged the county crew to clear or repair the tube before more debris accumulates.
Peterson also presented two contractor quotes for a tube project on AA Rd: a 50'-8 ft tube with wingwall for $36,350.00 and a 60'-6 ft tube with wingwall for $28,780.00. He noted the project could provide training opportunities for county road staff. The minutes do not record a formal contract award at this meeting; the quotes were entered into the record for future procurement decisions.
Other commissioners and staff reported related roadway drainage problems, including a damaged tube top at the intersection of 170 Rd and X Rd that is allowing water to run down the roadway. The minutes show the board discussed a plan to schedule work on C Rd in 2026, starting at 100 Rd and moving south, and to use grader ditches more extensively where appropriate.
