The Worth County Board of Supervisors voted March 30 to award a $1,927,751.52 contract to Croell, Inc. for the Fir Avenue paving project (L-100--73-98). Chairperson Enos Loberg opened a public hearing on the project, County Engineer Richard C. Brumm outlined the scope as Portland cement concrete (PCC) paving, and no members of the public offered comment.
The board closed the hearing and, by motion of Supervisor A.J. Stone seconded by Supervisor Mark Smeby, approved Resolution No. 2026-09 to accept Croell’s bid and award the contract. The resolution, adopted unanimously (AYES: Smeby, Stone, Loberg), authorizes County Engineer Richard C. Brumm to execute contract documents on behalf of the board after the auditor’s office receives the contractor’s bond, certificate of insurance and other required paperwork. The resolution cites section 331.301 of the Code of Iowa as authority for the action.
The text of the resolution describes the project as PCC paving and states the board followed the notifications, hearing and bidding procedures required by the Code of Iowa. The contract award concludes the county’s letting process for the project; the engineer will sign the final documents and proceed with contract administration once the required documents are in hand.
The resolution was adopted at the March 30 meeting; the board recessed for the hearing at 9:00 a.m., closed the hearing at 9:04 a.m., and reconvened to vote. The meeting adjourned at 9:06 a.m.
