County and MDOT disagree on unit pricing for rock work; guardrail payment might proceed first

Oct 12, 2026

County staff told supervisors that MDOT rejected the contractor's unit price for rock placement in a road project; staff proposed isolating guardrail work for immediate payment while negotiating rock pricing or re‑bidding the rock portion.

Public works staff reported that MDOT would not accept the contractor's revised unit price for rock work in a road and drainage contract. Because MDOT indicated it would approve guardrail work, staff proposed obtaining a revised settlement agreement limited to guardrails so that at least that portion can proceed while unit‑price negotiations continue for the rock portion.
