Jeff Larrison of United Consulting gave the Pulaski County Commissioners an update on the Bridge 291 project.
According to Larrison, INDOT will issue credit for up to 50 percent of the county’s 20 percent match for the project, bringing back $345,000 to the county. Larrison also told the commissioners that they will have to pay some of that money to businesses that have to move because of the bridge construction, including $8400 for reestablishment of the business and up to $13,000 for moving expenses, as some businesses have heavy equipment that must be moved. The business owners will have to submit invoices to ensure the money is spent correctly.
Before the state will let the bid, however, the county will have to pay $177,000.
Commissioner Kenneth Boswell told Larrison that the commissioners are satisfied with the work United has done.
