PUBLIC WORKS 10-17-12
The Board considered the approval of a Supplemental Agreement with BG Consultants for Project No. 2011-9 in the amount of $10,769.27 for the re-design of the horizontal curves on Route 442 between E 1 Road and Stull. Terese Gorman, County Engineer, presented the item.
The Board recently directed staff to proceed with designing alternative alignments for the two curves on Route 442, between E1 Road and Stull, to 55 mph standards. However, because of the unique design of the north curve, BG Consultants has requested additional design fees on the amount of $10,769.27 for extra survey and design work not included in the original contract.
Thellman stated she has mixed feelings regarding these improvements and feels the Board may regret approving some of these types of expensive projects if we experience budget shortfalls. She said the Board needs to look at the CIP and consider what is coming up. The CIP is not just about road and bridge improvements but also building maintenance, the new interchange and other various projects. She said we need a sense of where are priorities are.
Gaughan opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.
Flory moved to approve the Supplemental Agreement with BG Consultants for Project No. 2011-9 in the amount of $10,769.27. Motion was seconded by Gaughan and carried 3-0.
