The county highway committee reviewed and took action on multiple procurement items, forwarding a professional services agreement for bridge inspection and approving an equipment purchase for the county shop.
Committee members moved to accept an agreement with Hutchinson Engineering for bridge inspection services; the motion carried in committee. The committee also reviewed bids read by the county engineer and tabled some actions pending the committee meeting on March 7.
A committee report records acceptance of a vendor quote for new equipment related to county shop operations (quoted at $20,010.72 for a Duracell HPT installation and related items) and a resolution to adjust the county engineer’s salary by an additional $637.40 for fiscal year 2024 was presented and carried.
Committee minutes show members discussed bidding, project timelines, and overlapping engineering responsibility during a transition between engineers; some items required the statutory 7‑day review period before final action. Final purchase and contract actions are recorded as carried in committee minutes and will proceed to county board as required.
