Dunn County approves McKenzie Bay Marina paving contract and multiple construction payments
Summary
The Dunn County Commission authorized a $1.4396 million contract for McKenzie Bay Marina paving and approved pay estimates totaling roughly $125,613 to local contractors, decisions commissioners said will keep on-schedule road and paving projects.
Dunn County commissioners voted to award the McKenzie Bay Marina paving contract to Strata Corporation and approved several construction pay estimates during their meeting.
Eric Ernest of Bros Engineering told the board he recommended awarding the McKenzie Bay Marina paving bid to Strata and that the contractor had provided staging and pit-location details sought by engineers. "We—re very confident that the permits will come through," Ernest said, adding the contract restricts construction to begin after Labor Day. Commissioner Heiser moved to authorize signing the contract for Strata; the board approved the motion on a roll-call vote.
The commission also approved a pay estimate of $105,194.79 to Bronco Brothers (pay estimate No. 8) for work on 10th Street/113th Avenue and 7th Street, and pay estimate No. 1 to Edward H. Schwartz Construction for $20,418.10 for 103rd Avenue. Jeremy presented each pay estimate and recommended payment; motions to approve each were seconded and passed.
Why it matters: commissioners said approving the contract and pay requests keeps multiple road projects on schedule and allows the county to close out completed work. Construction on McKenzie Bay Marina will be timed to avoid the summer recreational season, per the contract.
What—s next: county staff will finalize contracts and notices of award for Strata, process the approved pay estimates, and schedule remaining bid openings noted by staff for May and June.
