Grant County awards road-material bids to Eaton Asphalt, Wriggler and Kim Crarer
Summary
The Grant County Fiscal Court approved bid committee recommendations for 2026–2027 road materials and supplies, awarding surface mix to Eaton Asphalt ($83/ton), base mix to Wriggler ($75/ton), cold mix to Eaton ($160/ton), and selecting Kim Crarer for stone and next-day salt delivery.
Grant County's fiscal court on April 21 approved the bid committee's recommendations for road materials, salt, stone and fuel arrangements for fiscal 2026–2027.
The bid committee — identified in the record as Shauna Kodarn and Jenna Alip working with Road Supervisor Joe Gordon — presented sealed bids received by the deadline and recommended awarding the surface hot-mix asphalt contract to Eaton Asphalt at $83 per ton, the base hot-mix to Wriggler at $75 per ton and Eaton Asphalt for cold mix at $160 per ton. Committee members and the road supervisor said transport and distance factored into the awards: a lower out-of-county bid that was $2 per ton cheaper was not deemed cost-effective once travel time and logistics were considered.
The court also approved Kim Crarer's next-day salt delivery as the preferred salt supplier and recommended Kim Crarer for stone deliveries; the transcript lists per-ton figures for a range of stone products (for example, number 11 clean at $31/ton and natural sand listed at $17.75/ton). Road staff noted Civil Con provided a materials catalog that the county may use to order bridge-related items as needed.
Road Supervisor Joe Gordon recommended the awards on the committee's behalf: "I recommend that we go with Kim Crerer on our stone delivery," a recommendation the court accepted by voice vote. Fuel purchases will continue as a call-in, day-of arrangement with the listed vendors.
What this means: Procurement decisions are in place for materials and deliveries; purchase orders and delivery scheduling will follow. The road department said it will issue orders consistent with the awarded bids and the civil-con materials list when applicable.
