Todd County approves $270,000 road contract, authorizes grader procurement and repair
Summary
The court approved a $270,000 road contract covering multiple road segments, adopted a state resolution tied to flex funds, authorized advertising for a used grader (targeting models 2005–2020 under $100,000) and approved a $3,500 transmission repair for an older grader.
Unidentified Speaker 1 told the court the county needs to approve a $270,000 road contract covering Allison Road (Guthrie area), a portion of Black Road near North Island Elementary, and about 0.7 miles of Old Railroad Lane. The agreement with the state was approved with the understanding that any cost overruns above the contracted amount would be the county’s responsibility. The court approved the contract and also approved state resolution 25-13 related to flex funds by voice vote.
Speaker 1 said the court will advertise to buy a used road grader with parameters set to model years no earlier than 2005 and no newer than 2020, and a target price under $100,000. The court authorized staff to prepare and publish that advertisement and solicit bids or quotes.
Unidentified Speaker 3 described a separate older grader with a new engine but transmission failure; after discussion the court approved spending an estimated $3,500 to repair the transmission so the unit could be used or sold. The road department also reported that contractor crews (listed by staff) will return after Labor Day for planned work.
The court recorded motions and voice-vote approvals; no roll-call tallies were included in the meeting record.
