Commissioners approve $74,782 Shellco overlay for Airport Road
Summary
The board authorized a Shellco Asphalt overlay for Airport Road (county-maintained) at a contract price of $74,782 to replace a chip-seal plan after staff deemed the road unlikely to reach a five-year life with chip seal.
Keith County commissioners voted to proceed with an asphalt overlay on Airport Road, authorizing county staff to contract with Shellco Asphalt for $74,782. The roads superintendent told the board the road's spring thaw damage made chip seal unlikely to reach a five-year life, so an overlay would be better value.
The county's roads supervisor said the city's contractor is already mobilized nearby, which removes mobilization costs. "I have the money in the budget for asphaltic and everything, so I'm not concerned on that," the supervisor said. Commissioners confirmed that $80,000 is budgeted annually for asphalt repairs and moved to use those funds for the project.
Motion and vote: The motion to authorize Thomas (roads supervisor) to proceed with Shellco for the overlay at $74,782 was made and seconded; a roll-call vote recorded all commissioners in favor.
Next steps: Staff will execute the paving contract with Shellco and schedule the overlay to proceed while the contractor is in the area. The county will record the expenditure from the asphalt/repairs budget line.
