The Adair County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Feb. 18 to award Grimes Asphalt and Paving Corporation a $1,459,318.62 contract to perform cold in-place recycling and HMA resurfacing on two county roadways.
Resolution #2026-18, adopted under the board's authority as described in section 331.301 of the Code of Iowa, covers the N-77 Casey Stub Road HMA Resurfacing Project (FM-COO1(132)-55-01) and the 350th Street Rose Acres Road HMA Resurfacing Project. The board accepted the low bid and approved awarding the contract to Grimes Asphalt and Paving Corporation.
The resolution specifies that, after the county receives required contract documents including the contractor's bond and certificate of insurance, County Engineer Nick Kauffman, P.E., is authorized to execute the construction contracts on behalf of the board. The board recorded a roll call vote: Hoadley, Wedemeyer, Christoffersen, Baier and Walker all voted aye.
Sawyer Hansen, assistant to the county engineer, told the board that a preconstruction meeting has occurred with Grimes Asphalt and that the contractor will be handling work related to the Orient Energy Center project as planned. Hansen also provided an update on other bridge and road work, including Govco's work on the 110th Street bridge and Herberger Construction's dirt work on the 170th Street bridge.
Next steps are receipt of contract bonds and insurance certificates and formal execution of the contract documents by the county engineer, after which scheduling and field work will proceed.
