Votes at a glance: county approves change order, right-of-way payments and Fair Creek project

At the Bonneville County Public Works meeting, commissioners approved several routine but budget-impacting items including a change order, right-of-way payments and a project approval.

Change order: Staff presented change order number 6 for HK Contractors on the highway widening project to address previously unidentified utility conduits and add sidewalk and pedestrian rail work. The board moved, seconded and approved the change order. The staff member said the amount was $26,743.94.

Fair Creek project: Commissioners moved to review and approve the project summary and supporting materials for Derrick Creek/Fair Creek, including references in the packet to approximately $100,000 on the county's emergency plan. The motion was seconded and carried.

Right-of-way payments: The board approved right-of-way payments for multiple parcels related to the 1st Street widening project (parcel numbers and parcel descriptions were read into the record). The transcript contained an unclear dollar figure in the record for the total; precise itemized dollar amounts were not clearly legible in the transcript and are recorded here as not specified.

Votes recorded in the meeting were unanimous where shown. No ordinances or resolutions were adopted at this meeting; these items were motions to approve contracts, payments and project documents as part of routine public works business. Commissioners indicated they would revisit the larger HK Contractors contract award at a special meeting after staff secures written reimbursement commitments from utility districts.
