Board reviews resurfacing projects; staff to sign federal and farm-to-market contracts
Summary
County engineers presented three resurfacing projects—one federally funded and two farm-to-market projects—and the board authorized signature of contracts and bonds so work can proceed.
Kossuth County engineers presented resurfacing plans for three roads and asked the board to sign contracts and bonds to move construction forward.
The three projects discussed were: Irvington Road (B55) from 169 over to P60 (federally funded), Laverne Sexton Road (B63) in Luverne Township, and The Boat Hobart Road from the E Road up to Highway 18 (both described as farm-to-market projects). The county engineer said the Irvington Road job includes federal funds; the others are farm-to-market projects.
County staff asked the board to sign the returned contracts and accompanying bonds. The county noted that prior action on the projects authorized the county auditor (Kyle) to sign documents necessary to execute construction contracts; staff presented copies of contracts and bonds for signing.
There was no extended public discussion recorded; staff handed documents to Kyle for signature during the meeting and indicated the projects are ready to proceed.
County staff also noted several pieces of equipment recently received for the secondary roads department, and the county engineer mentioned receiving an award from the Iowa County Engineers Association.
No separate formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript for contract execution beyond the staff request and compliance with earlier motion/resolution delegating signature authority to Kyle.
