Summary
On March 18, 2026 the McDonald County Commission approved accounts payable, entered a brief closed session, received FEMA and BRO bridge funding updates and awarded several road and culvert contracts, including work to Granger Dirtworks and Viebrock.
McDonald County Commissioners on March 18 approved accounts payable and a series of contracts for road repairs and culvert supplies while receiving brief updates on bridge and bank-stabilization projects.
The board — Presiding Commissioner Bryan Hall, Eastern Commissioner Jamey Cope and Western Commissioner Rick Lett — signed accounts payable totaling $50,068.41 and discussed a compromised roadway beneath the Craig O'Lea Bridge that road crews are temporarily rebuilding with gravel pending bridge repairs.
At 8:24 a.m., Commissioner Rick Lett moved to enter closed session under RSMo 610.021.3; Commissioner Jamey Cope seconded the motion and all commissioners approved. The commission returned to open session at 8:41 a.m.
At 9:00 a.m., Chad Granger of Granger Dirtworks provided an update on the FEMA Dead End Lane bank stabilization project. Later in the morning, Brian Boyce of Great River reviewed BRO Bridge Soft Match funding and said $10,447.43 is available to McDonald County; he summarized candidate projects on Rains Road, Frye Road, Woodchuck Road, Mike's Creek Road and Hagee Road and offered CDL training for road crew members.
The commission reviewed bids for a Health Department driveway addition and several low-water slab projects. The record shows the commission approved Granger Dirtworks for the Little Missouri Road project ($69,940) and Pumpstation Road ($71,908). Hambrich Hollow Road was awarded to Cullers Construction and Woodchuck Road was awarded to C4 Earthworks; the minutes do not specify award amounts for those two contracts.
At 1:05 p.m., the commission opened bids for 2026 flat-bottom culverts and bands; bids were received from Cast Steel and Viebrock. Commissioner Jamey Cope moved to award the culvert bid to Viebrock; Commissioner Rick Lett seconded and all commissioners voted in favor.
