Commission awards $1.75 million overlay contract; Cedar Run removed, three roads added
Summary
The commission approved a contract award for road overlays after bid tabulation showed a low bidder; Cedar Run Road was removed from the initial bid and London, Royal Oaks and Terrace Gardens were added to keep the project within budget. The total contract value reported was $1,753,504.01.
St. Francois County commissioners approved awarding an overlay contract after bid tabulation and budget review, removing Cedar Run Road from the initial package and adding London, Royal Oaks and Terrace Gardens so the project would stay within the county’s budget.
Why it matters: the highway administrator said the low bidder on all roads was Lehi out materials (as reported in the bid tabulation). The administrator recommended removing one road that pushed the total above budget and replacing it with three other roads, and commissioners discussed contractor pricing differences by road.
Details and discussion: the highway administrator said the contract total after adjustments will be $1,753,504.01 and asked that the motion be amended to include the revised dollar amount. Commissioners confirmed the award is subject to change if major unanticipated events (storms, emergency repairs) require redirecting funds.
Action and outcome: commissioners voted to approve the overlays and the adjusted contract package, and a motion adding the $1,753,504.01 figure to the motion was accepted. The vote was recorded by voice as “aye.” No roll‑call tally with names was recorded in the transcript.
Quotations: the highway administrator said he had “received our finish back on the projected overlays. I did a bid tabulation and, based on bids provided, lehi out materials was low bidder on all roads that they bid.” The administrator later stated the total: “Because it does happen sometimes where certain contractors are cheaper on certain roads. Yeah. So total will be $1,753,504.01.”
Ending: the highway administrator said he will coordinate notice to proceed and scheduling with the low bidder and will monitor budget impacts if weather or emergency repairs arise.
