Summary

Douglas County awarded the SAP021614019 grading contract for County Road 14 to Central Specialties after bids came in under the engineer's estimate, and approved final payment of $120,334.20 to Midwest Contracting for the SAP0216140118 culvert project.

The Douglas County Board approved two Public Works items: an award of SAP021614019 (grading on County Road 14) and authorization of final payment for SAP0216140118 (centerline culverts on County Road 14).

Public Works staff reported competitive bids for the grading contract were substantially below the engineer’s estimate and recommended awarding the unit‑price contract to Central Specialties. A commissioner moved to award the contract; the motion received a second and was approved by roll call.

Separately, staff recommended accepting the completed culvert project and authorizing final payment of $120,334.20 to Midwest Contracting. The board moved to accept the completed project and approve final payment; the motion carried on roll call.

Commissioners asked a couple of clarifying questions about the engineer’s estimate and bid math; staff offered to provide a fuller explanation at a Public Works update. No appeals or further conditions were attached to the approvals at the meeting.
