Commissioners approve $65,000 engineering agreement for NW 70th Avenue widening

The Pratt County Board of County Commissioners voted to approve an engineering services agreement on June 2 for road-widening work on Northwest 70th Avenue, authorizing $65,000 to the listed engineering firm.

The commission discussed the agreement for engineering services with the firm identified in the record as Crook and Michaels (also referenced as Kirk and Michael in the meeting). The project was described as road widening on Northwest 70th Avenue; the board approved the contract and authorized the expenditure.

Commissioners noted the project may have a cost-share arrangement for larger construction work; conversation referenced potential 90/10 or 80/20 splits on certain bridge projects but the agreement approved at the meeting was for engineering services only, at $65,000.

A motion to approve the agreement was moved and seconded and passed by roll call/voice vote 3-0. The county will proceed with the engineering services contract and follow up on scheduling and any subsequent construction agreements as required.
