Summary
The Dearborn County commissioners awarded three construction contracts — Small Structure 127 ($492,781), 2026 paving ($1,371,573.80), and Bridge 68 deck replacement ($968,335) — and approved routine claims, payroll and minute ratifications, all by voice vote.
The Dearborn County Board of Commissioners approved multiple contract awards and routine items during the meeting.
County Engineer Dodd Lisonbee recommended awarding the Small Structure 127 (Greeley Road replacement) contract to Dave O'Mear Contractor at $492,781; commissioners approved the notice of award and contract paperwork. Lisonbee also presented the low bid for county paving projects under modified Community Crossing rules: Dave O'Meara Contractors submitted a low bid of $1,371,573.80 to repave Salt Fork Ridge (SR 1 to Jackson Ridge), Jackson Ridge Road and Legion Road; the board approved the award and the county indicated it has funds available to cover the difference above the $1,250,000 allocation.
For Bridge 68 (York Ridge Road), Lisonbee reported that thermal imaging and inspections showed the deck required full replacement rather than an overlay. Beatty Construction submitted the low bid of $968,335 and the commissioners approved the award and associated Form 96 paperwork.
Separately, the board ratified an OKI funding agreement for $16,974, approved a Beacon subscription fee schedule change and approved a bicycle and pedestrian grant application (see other items), and voted to approve routine claims, payroll and the Oct. 21, 2025 meeting minutes. Each formal award and routine approval passed by voice vote; the transcript records unanimous "Aye" responses but does not list roll‑call tallies.
