The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to award a resurfacing contract for a section of D38 to the low bidder, Henningsen Construction Inc., for $3,762,607.60.

County Engineer Aura Sievers told the board the project, identified as FMCO 97 (parent 152), is a hot-mix asphalt resurfacing and cold in-place recycle on D38 from K64 east for 10.3 miles to Iowa 31. Sievers said the work was procured through a Department of Transportation letting and produced two bids: Henningsen Construction Inc. at $3,762,607.60 and Knife River at $3,899,000.10.

The board moved to award the contract to the lowest bidder and directed the county engineer to execute the contract and bond; the motion was seconded and the vote was 5–0 in favor.

Sievers described the procurement as a DOT letting, and supervisors did not request additional conditions or a split award. The board’s action authorizes the county engineer to sign the documents necessary to move the contract into the execution phase.

The county did not provide an immediate schedule for construction start or a projected completion date during the discussion. The board packet referenced the project as FMCO 97 (parent 152).
