Committee reviews low bids for final resurfacing miles; alternate segment depends on budget
Summary
The highway committee opened two bids for 11 miles of resurfacing; Karteshner Brothers submitted the low bid and the board will compare budgets and ARPA availability before deciding whether to include an alternate segment for resurfacing Highway H near Leroy.
The Dodge County Highway Committee reviewed results of a bid opening for hot-mix asphalt resurfacing covering about 11 miles and discussed whether to exercise an alternate bid to resurface Highway H near Leroy.
Committee staff said two bids were received — from Northeast Asphalt and Karteshner Brothers — and that the low bidder, Karteshner Brothers, was within roughly $10,000 on the base bid versus a combined base-and-alternate option; total project amounts discussed approached several million dollars.
The nut of the decision is budgetary: staff said the county must confirm where ARPA and other funds stand before adding the alternate Highway H segment to the contract. Committee members asked whether a partial segment would ever be done; staff said they prefer to resurface an entire defined segment (intersection to intersection) rather than stop mid-route and leave mismatched pavement ages.
No formal action was taken at the meeting; staff will return with budget clarity before committing to the alternate.
Ending: The committee deferred a decision on the alternate Highway H resurfacing until staff confirms ARPA and other budget availability.
