Commission approves engineering contract for Hugo Township project
Summary
County commissioners approved an engineering contract covering design (estimated $25,000) and construction engineering for a Hugo Township drainage/culvert project; the county will act as the money conduit and seek state reimbursement.
The Steele County Commission approved a formal engineering contract for the Hugo Township project after Interstate Engineering presented the paperwork the state requires for reimbursement.
An engineering representative (S4) told the commission that the design portion was "estimated at 25,000," with construction engineering billed on an hourly basis for tasks such as staking and limited construction oversight. S4 said the county serves as the conduit for state funds and will be reimbursed later, so the township will not carry the net cost upfront. S1 moved to approve the engineering contract; the motion was seconded and carried.
County staff were asked to sign the notice to proceed and forward paperwork to the state so work can be scheduled. The contractor indicated construction may not start this fall and could occur next year depending on utility contract awards and completion of outstanding administrative steps.
