Worth County approves contract to clean drainage ditch in Hartland Township (DD 263)
Summary
The Worth County Board of Supervisors approved a contract to clean the bottom of a drainage ditch in Hartland Township (Drainage District DD 263), awarding the work to the low bidder for an approximately 5,280-foot stretch.
The Worth County Board of Supervisors voted during the meeting to award a contract to clean the bottom of a drainage ditch in Hartland Township, identified as Drainage District DD 263. The work covers an approximately 5,280-foot segment described in the bid documents.
County staff presented two competitive bids for cleaning the drainage channel in Section 31 of Hartland Township. One bid listed a unit price of $3.45 per foot; a competing bid from a contractor identified in the packets at $4.24 per foot was also discussed. The board moved to accept the low bid and approve the work on the north–south stretch and the adjacent curve, with the motion carried by the board.
Board members discussed scope limitations noted in the low bid, which excluded tile and surface pipes and did not include seeding. Staff said the dozer would clean when crops were out and that payment would be measured on completion. The board directed that additional contiguous stretches would be considered later if landowners asked to extend the work.
The board recorded the motion as approved; no individual mover or second was recorded in the transcript. The vote was announced as carried with all in favor.
The action will be scheduled and coordinated with the contractor; staff noted they would return to the board if the landowner requests further work extending beyond the approved section.
Ending: Staff will finalize scheduling and measurement details with the contractor and will bring any scope changes or tile/pipe issues back to the board for direction.
