Highlands County is planning a budget amendment to realign funds between several road and bridge projects. This involves using insurance money from a damaged vehicle to cover shortfalls in building and equipment projects. Specifically, $15,406.75 will go to Project 22030 (R&B New Building) and $28,053.15 to Project 25006 (R&B Equipment 2025) for truck replacement. Another $1,000 is being moved within Project 25005 (State Aquatic Weed) for operating supplies. This item is currently under review for adoption by the Board of County Commissioners. The work will involve funding the replacement of a truck and potentially other equipment, along with adjustments to aquatic weed control project budgets. Contractors and suppliers involved in vehicle replacement, general construction, and aquatic plant control services may find opportunities as these funds are allocated. Early engagement could be beneficial before final bids and permits are set.
