Harrison County’s Commissioners Court on May 23 approved a revised public culvert price list after staff said recent bids showed material costs rising sharply.
Road & Bridge staff explained the county’s installation fees would not change, but the cost of corrugated polyethylene pipe has increased significantly in recent months. "Our old price is $5 a foot for a 15 in ... this new one's $11," Road & Bridge staff stated during the discussion. Commissioners approved the updated list after clarifying that the county accepted the bid and was adjusting its public price to reflect supplier increases.
The change follows bid number 2023‑24 and is effective immediately. County staff said the updated list reflects market costs for pipe and is intended to recover material increases while keeping installation charges stable.
The motion to approve passed 5–0.
