County approves Reece Construction pay request, holds payment pending bridge redesign and resumption
Summary
Doniphan County approved pay request No. 3 for Reece Construction for the RS380 bridge replacement ($315,036.97) but directed the clerk to hold the check until redesigned plans are approved and work resumes; county will retain 10% of total and the contractor expects roughly two weeks to finish after Sept. 1.
Reece Construction representatives told the Doniphan County Commission that engineers with Schwab-Eaton PA must approve redesigned plans before the contractor may re-enter the creek channel to finish RS380 bridge replacement on 240th Road. Reece estimated "a period of two weeks to complete the bridge project" once the redesign is approved and work resumes after the end of minnow spawning season on Sept. 1.
The Board approved pay request number three for progressive work in the amount of $315,036.97 but instructed the County Clerk to hold the check until Reece resumes work. The county will retain 10% of the total project costs and reserves the right to call the contractor's bond if the project is not completed to specifications; liquidated damages are stayed until redesigned plans are approved.
County Attorney Charles D. Baskins reiterated the structure likely will not be open prior to fall harvest. Reece will remove existing rebar and structure from the creek bed, place rip rap and flowable fill (the county will cover the flowable fill cost), and perform final grass seeding after completion.
