Commissioners approve final voucher for Casa 26 mill-and-overlay project; commissioner recuses
Summary
The board approved the final contract voucher for SAP 014-626-032, a mill and overlay of Casa 26 (Casa 19 to Trunk Highway 75). Commissioner Baer recused from the item; the board approved the final payment on motion and the final amount was reported in the meeting record.
The Clay County Board of Commissioners approved the final contract voucher for SAP 014‑626‑032, a mill‑and‑overlay project on County State Aid (Casa) Route 26 from Casa 19 to Trunk Highway 75, covering roughly 9.5 miles. Knife River Materials was the contractor.
Highway Engineer Justin Sorum described the project as the second year of a three‑year program on Casa 26 and said the project “turned out really well.” During the meeting Commissioner Baer recused himself from the agenda item.
The packet and Justin’s presentation included two different final‑amount figures in the transcript: Justin initially stated a final amount of $3,666,942.12 and an original bid of $3,672,363.40; later in the public motion the amount was spoken as $3,636,942.12. Commissioner Ebinger moved approval of the final contract voucher and Commissioner Kravanoff seconded; the motion carried by oral vote with Commissioner Baer recused.
The board recorded that the final voucher amount was approved and that staff would process the payment. The item prompted praise from commissioners for the project’s condition and the lower final cost relative to the original bid amount noted in the packet.
