County awards crack‑seal contract and authorizes gravel bid advertisement for 2025 road work
Summary
Stevens County commissioners awarded a crack‑filling/seal project to the apparent low bidder and authorized advertisement for aggregate/gravel bids to support a planned four‑mile graveling project; both items were budgeted for 2025 and motions carried.
County highway staff presented two budgeted road maintenance actions and the board approved both items.
Crack‑filling/seal: Highway staff said the county had purchased the sealant material in a prior budget year and requested a motion to award labor for seasonal crack and seal work on County Road 1 and County Road 20 to Aztec of Saint Cloud. Staff reported a discrepancy in a per‑pound bid value on the sheet ($2.10 vs. $2.18 per pound) but confirmed the low bidder and total labor award figure of $23,980 for the labor portion. A commissioner moved to approve the award to Aztec; the board voted and the motion carried.
Aggregate/gravel advertisement: The board also authorized advertising for bids for an aggregate/gravel contract (CP2025‑1) to gravel County Road 14 from County Road 13 East for four miles to a minimum depth of four inches, with a budgeted appropriation of $250,000 for the work. Staff said the selected bidder would supply the gravel; commissioners discussed internal gravel supplies and the county’s multi‑year gravel plan. A motion to advertise for bids carried.
No detailed bid tabulations or formal contract documents were executed during the meeting; staff said some retainage and pay items for other highway projects remain under administration.
