County staff flag chip‑seal bid and possible $46,000 extension to match city work
Summary
Staff told commissioners a chip‑seal bid covers Sunnyside Road through county limits to John Adams and that extending the contractor’s work to 1st Street could cost about $46,000; commissioners discussed whether to join a nearby city’s chip‑seal plan for contiguous pavement.
Public works staff informed commissioners on March 31 that the department bid a chip‑seal project from Sunnyside Road north to 1st Street and that the county portion currently runs to John Adams. Staff estimated extending the contractor’s work from John Adams to 1st Street would cost about $46,000 if the county chose to participate.
The public works director (S6) said the county learned that a nearby city had arranged chip sealing on its portion of Sunnyside, and staff recommended considering participation so the pavement treatment would be continuous. Commissioners discussed budget implications and whether the county wants the stretch to be treated the same way; staff noted the county budget includes chip‑seal funds and that they would report back with bid details when available.
No final decision was recorded at the meeting; staff will notify commissioners when bids arrive and confirmed the county can opt into or decline the extension.
