\r\n5.a. Change Order to Snake Nation Road Contract\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nWe heard last time from Joe Pritchard that\r\nthe county had received some estimates for resurfacing on Snake Nation Road, but he needed some time to organize funding before presenting details.<\/a>\r\nOK, fair enough, but why is it a Change Order?\r\nDidn’t they just vote on realignment of Snake Nation Road in June?<\/a>\r\nWhy two months later a Change Order, which usually means\r\nhave to do it right now with no competitive bids?\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nHere’s a backgrounder from the VDT about\r\na sinkhole being discovered on Snake Nation Road last December.<\/a>\r\nAnd here’s the VDT in May on\r\ncosts for fixing it:<\/a>\r\n

\r\n\u201cWe are purchasing the property to the north, 5.22 acres, for $40,000\r\nto reroute the road,\u201d said County Manager Joe Pritchard.\r\n

\r\nRerouting the road will cost approximately $300,000 versus at least\r\ntwice that amount to reinforce the hole, put in concrete supports,\r\nand fill it to prevent the road from collapsing again.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nHere’s \r\nthe agenda for this morning and tomorrow evening.<\/a>\r\n
