County staff to solicit bids for repair of three box culverts
Summary
County engineers prepared drawings and plan to advertise bids to repair three box culverts; commissioners discussed timelines, surveyed scopes and possible FEMA time extensions for repairs.
Brown County staff said engineering drawings are complete for repairs to three county box culverts and that the county will advertise the projects for bids.
Staff explained the engineering drawings will be used to request bids and that the projects likely will be advertised in the county paper with at least a three‑week bidding window. Commissioners asked for rough cost estimates; staff said they did not yet have a firm total and that each project will be bid individually so contractors can price each location.
Staff also said they expect to request a time extension from FEMA: the current FEMA deadline is November 2025 and staff plans to request an extension to August 2026. Commissioners discussed logistical steps for advertising and ensuring bidders have time to prepare proposals.
No construction contract award was recorded in the transcript excerpt; staff said the county would publish bid documents, accept bids, and return to the court for award after the procurement period.
