Board approves $187,433.33 drainage pay estimate for contractor
Summary
During the drainage agenda the board approved pay estimate No. 2 for a contractor reported as about 85% complete and authorized payment of $187,433.33; discussion focused on crossings and weather timing.
During the meeting’s drainage segment Speaker 8 reported that pay estimate No. 2 for the contractor (referred to in the transcript as "Ragna's brothers") showed approximately 85% completion and requested payment of $187,433.33.
Board members discussed site activity, barricades and timing for crossing roads. Speaker 9 and others said contractor crews were hauling rock and that crossings and finishing work should be possible in the next few days if weather permits. Speaker 4 moved to approve the payment; the motion carried after members voted in favor.
Why it matters: the payment authorizes release of contract funds needed to keep a drainage/roadwork project moving toward completion and reflects the board’s ongoing project oversight. County staff said the contractor was progressing and that crossings and finishing work are imminent.
Next steps: the contractor will continue work on crossings and final surfacing subject to weather; county staff will process the payment in the next two weeks’ claims cycle as noted in the discussion.
