Commission authorizes $3 million road contract with Western Engineering
Summary
The Lincoln County Board authorized the chair to sign a contract with Western Engineering Company Inc. for LCD Project 2026-01, a major road project with a roughly $3 million bid amount; commissioners confirmed scope and contract specifics and approved the authorization by roll call.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners authorized the chair to sign a contract with Western Engineering Company Inc. for LCD Project 2026-01, a primary road project for 2026 that commissioners described as the county’s “big kahuna” of the year.
Why it matters: commissioners said the agreement is the county’s main road-construction contract and carries an amount in the neighborhood of $3 million. The board clarified this is a separate stand-alone project distinct from the county’s annual engineering agreement with the PC Engineering firm.
Discussion: commissioners noted the contract language points to the contractor’s proposal for a completion date and asked staff to confirm the timeline; one commissioner asked why a completion date was not written directly into the contract. Board members confirmed this contract is the usual form used in prior years with only the bid amount and date changed.
The board moved, seconded and approved the authorization by roll call.
What’s next: the chair will sign the contract and staff will manage project execution through Public Works.
