Rush County approves $1.04 million Community Crossings project and awards $887,844.65 construction contract
Summary
Commissioners authorized a Community Crossings grant for $1,044,081.79 (NDOT to cover up to 80%) and approved a low-bid construction contract of $887,844.65 with Dave O'Meara; the approvals were unanimous.
Rush County commissioners voted Jan. 27 to accept a Community Crossings grant and award the construction contract for the associated roadway project.
Unidentified Speaker (Speaker 8) told the board the grant paperwork shows "It's for $1,044,081.79. That's how much NDOT will pay us or they'll pay 80% of it up to that amount." The board also considered bids and accepted Dave O'Meara as the low bidder at $887,844.65. A motion to approve the grant acceptance and the contractor award was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The project documents presented to commissioners showed NDOT will cover up to 80% of eligible costs; the approved local contract amount is $887,844.65. Commissioners discussed bonds, insurance and contract execution logistics before voting. Unidentified Speaker (Speaker 8) said he would scan contract copies and forward them for signatures.
The board did not specify an on-site start date during the meeting; the presenter said timber and other materials are pending milling and that site work should proceed once components are received. The contract and grant paperwork will move forward with signatures and the county will monitor the contractor's compliance with bonding and insurance requirements.
The motion and contractor award passed by unanimous voice vote.
