Commissioners accept Q Road bridge settlement, review multiple road projects
Summary
Smith County accepted a settlement for the Q Road bridge between 30 Road and 40 Road and received updates on C Road construction, material sourcing, equipment issues and plans to request cost estimates for additional bridges.
Smith County commissioners on May 18 voted to accept a Release and Settlement Agreement for the Q Road bridge between 30 Road and 40 Road and discussed several other road projects and equipment issues.
County staff member Jeremy Presbrey briefed the board on the C Road project, saying truck drivers from Gana Company were arriving that morning about 9:00 a.m. and outlining water-truck routes needed for compaction and dust control. Presbrey said staff is seeking additional rock from the Cornwell rock pit and that crushed concrete is available from Ryan Rietzke. Commissioners also noted a tree removal on 240 Road after storm damage and a driveway concern at 180 Road and I Road pending crew availability.
The commissioners commended the crew for recent work on 110 Road. After an executive-session interlude they reviewed and accepted the settlement for the Q Road bridge (motion by Peterson, second by Ifland). They also directed staff to obtain cost estimates for the bridge on 140 Road between F Road and G Road and discussed planning for replacement work on the Q Road crossing between 30 and 40 roads.
The minutes record equipment concerns, including a roller that is out of service, and discussion of focusing budget resources on machinery replacement rather than additional discretionary equipment purchases.
