Stevens County approves $107,687 final payment to contractor and adopts 5‑year road plan
Summary
The board approved a $107,687.29 final payment for two SAP road projects, debated pavement smoothness and materials, and adopted the county's five‑year transportation and equipment replacement plan covering overlays, sealcoats and bridge priorities.
The Stevens County Board of Commissioners approved final payment to Mark Sand and Gravel for two state aid projects (SAP 075608033 and SAP 075613023) totaling $107,687.29, and adopted the county’s five‑year transportation plan and equipment replacement schedule.
County highway staff presented project closure documents and explained the final amount requested. "Contractors submitted all their IC 1 30 fours and required bridal paperwork...requesting $107,687," the presenter summarized while asking the board for the final payment approval. Commissioners discussed ride smoothness, mix segregation and plans for a field sealcoat in the next one to two years to improve surface performance.
On the longer range plan, highway staff outlined multiple mill‑and‑overlay projects, two sealcoat cycles, bridge replacement priorities and equipment purchases (including a proposed tractor and a replacement schedule for graders and loaders). The board discussed match rules for state aid (typically 80% state, 20% local), contingency planning and traffic counts on priority routes. Commissioners approved the five‑year plan and the equipment replacement schedule by motion.
What changed: The board committed county funds consistent with state aid match rules, approved the contractor final payment and signed off on the transportation priorities that will guide 2026 work and longer‑term capital replacement.
