The Pine County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 17 awarded a $2,020,441.95 contract to Redstone Construction LLC for replacement of the CSAH 46 bridge (SAP 058-646-031) and approved a Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Local Bridge Replacement Program (LBRP) grant of $866,946.50 to help fund the work.

County Engineer Mark LeBrun told the board three bids were received for Contract #2601 and recommended the low bidder, Redstone Construction; the successful bid was 3.8% below the engineer’s estimate. Commissioners voted 3-0 to accept the recommendation and award the contract.

The board also approved LBRP Grant Agreement #1060587 and adopted Resolution 2026-07 documenting grant terms and conditions for use of $866,946.50 in local bridge replacement funds on SAP 058-646-031 (CSAH 46 Bridge #58508). Commissioner Steve Hallan moved to approve the grant agreement; Commissioner Matt Ludwig seconded. The roll-call vote was recorded as unanimous among the three members present.

The action bundles the construction contract and the MnDOT grant for the same bridge. County staff did not provide a construction schedule during the public portion of the meeting. The board's votes authorize county staff to execute the contract and the grant agreement and proceed with project administration under the adopted resolution.
