McPherson County awards Ringgold Road armor coat bid and adopts One-and-Six-Year road plan
Loading...
Summary
The county accepted a Figgins Construction bid for Ringgold Road armor coat and adopted its One-and-Six-Year Street Improvement Program; the board scheduled the formal plan hearing and adopted Resolution #2020-9.
McPherson County commissioners accepted a bid from Figgins Construction to perform an armor coat on a one-mile segment of Ringgold Road and adopted the county’s One-and-Six-Year Street Improvement Program.
At the Feb. 12 regular meeting the board opened and examined two bids for the Ringgold Road armor coat project. Commissioners voted to accept the Figgins Construction bid of $17,907.45 over a higher bid from Topkote Inc. The board then held a public hearing at 10 a.m. on the One-and-Six-Year Road Plan; Highway Superintendent Tom Werblow presented the plan and, with no public objections, the commissioners adopted RESOLUTION #2020-9 to approve the program.
The Ringgold Road project was later reflected in claims and invoices during 2020 as construction and related engineering invoices were processed. Highway Superintendent Tom Werblow and road worker Edd Black reported ongoing road maintenance activities across the county, including grading and patching in the southwest area and preparation for spring flooding.
Commissioners set a schedule for additional road overseers and authorized Werblow to solicit bids for roadwork where needed. The board also directed staff to publish official notices for scheduled road hearings and bidders as required by state procedures.
The board’s actions aim to improve a previously patched stretch of Ringgold Road and to formalize road priorities in the county’s capital plan.
