Commission approves culvert work, equipment payments and a hydraulic study invoice
Summary
Public works presented culvert replacements and roadside maintenance projects; commissioners accepted PS Doors' quote for a shop door, approved payment of $46,990 for a new pickup, and authorized $10,000 in hydraulic-study invoices for the 96th Avenue project.
Roads and public-works staff updated the commission on several infrastructure items and requested authorizations the commission approved by motion.
The commission approved payment of $46,990 to Devil's Lake for a new pickup ordered for roads operations. Road staff presented a $10,388 quote from PS Doors for a 16-by-13-foot insulated overhead door for the main shop; commissioners voted to accept the PS Doors quote.
Staff described culvert problems at multiple locations including Lawton and 96th Avenue (Sampson Crossing). An engineering review by KLJ indicated existing crossings and recommended replacing rusted culverts; commissioners voted to replace or re-install like-for-like (two culverts) for the identified site. Commissioners also approved paying two KLJ invoices totaling $10,000 for the 96th Avenue hydraulic study; staff noted that engineering expenses on the South Minnewakim project will be reimbursed by the North Dakota DOT, though the transcript contains two different amounts (speaker said $1,453.72 but later roll-call wording used $15,453.72). Commissioners moved and approved payment and authorized staff to submit for DOT reimbursement.
Why it matters: these approvals fund immediate maintenance and design work on county roads and ensure insurance/engineering steps move forward before summer construction season.
Next steps: road staff will order culverts/door hardware, process payments, and submit reimbursement claims to state agencies where applicable.
