Loading...
Summary
The commission accepted a $4,500 quote for a 54-inch culvert, approved posting the county culvert purchasing policy, authorized several culvert purchases and accepted a construction bid (with change-order approach) to advance building repairs; the board also approved ordering a $2,999.99 post pounder for the sign truck.
Ramsey County highway staff presented several procurement items and construction bids and the commission acted on multiple items affecting road maintenance and a county building renovation.
The superintendent requested acceptance of a $4,500 quote from Johnson for a 54-inch culvert on Ramsey County 4; the commission approved the quote. He also presented revised county line agreements and a renamed 'Ramsey County Culvert Purchasing Policy' and the commission voted to post the two highway policies on the county website.
The board reviewed sealed bids for a floor project in a county building and discussed a subsequent letter from Lindstrom Construction offering to fix roof issues and waive certain charges if awarded the full contract. After deliberation about change orders and contractor coordination, the commission voted to accept Lindstrom's offer and consolidate the work with one contractor to minimize scheduling conflicts and accelerate completion.
The commission approved an additional culvert purchase (48-inch by 44-foot) for a township and authorized ordering a post pounder priced at $2,999.99 for the new sign truck with budgeted funds.
Superintendent Jason also reported on a right‑of‑way excavation on Ramsey County 8 and said the landowner is working with the county to bring slopes into compliance with road standards.
