Board approves $2.5 million paving contract for county roads
Summary
Grand County commissioners authorized the Chair to sign a $2,503,403 contract with United Paving to complete multiple county road projects after Road and Bridge presented the award and schedule.
Grand County's Board of Commissioners on May 20 approved a $2,503,403 contract with United Paving for the 2025 paving and payment projects covering County Roads 511, 611, 532 (832) and 834, with work planned to start after July Fourth.
Road and Bridge Director David Buckley told commissioners United was the successful bidder for the 02/2025 pavement projects and asked the chair to sign and proceed with negotiations; the board approved a motion authorizing the chair to sign applicable documents. Buckley said County Road 1 will be handled as a separate project and discussed later with the contractor.
Why it matters: the contract funds and schedules county road surface improvements and represents a significant capital pavement program for summer operations. Road and Bridge staff said the timing is planned to begin after July 4 to match contractor availability and seasonal conditions.
Contract value and schedule: Buckley stated the contract value at $2,503,403 and said work would begin shortly after July 4. Commissioners asked whether the contract reflected recent changes discussed previously; staff said the contract incorporates those changes and that County Road 1 will be negotiated separately.
Next steps: sign the contract, finalize project scope with United Paving and begin field work after July 4. Road and Bridge will return to the board with separate negotiation and scheduling for County Road 1.
