Kossuth County accepts drainage-maintenance bid, sets multiple drainage hearings
Summary
The board accepted a low drainage-maintenance bid in the record for $1,413,900 and set informational and public hearings for several drainage districts (including DD01:16 and DD82); the board also assigned field inspections on repair requests.
The Kossuth County Board of Supervisors approved a drainage-maintenance contract and scheduled hearings for several drainage-district matters discussed during the meeting.
Drainage maintenance quotes: staff presented two quotes for drainage ditch maintenance. A motion in the record accepted the low bid (announced in the meeting as "B F W's low bid of $1,413,900 dollars for 2,026 brush control in open drainage ditches"); the board approved the award and staff will notify bidders and follow procurement procedures.
Informational meeting for DD 01:16: the board set an informational meeting on lateral issues for DD 01:16 (laterals 12 and 14) for June 2 at 8:30 a.m. Staff discussed notice logistics and the potential for variable public turnout.
Engineer report and hearing for DD82: the board accepted the engineer's report for Drainage District 82 (Lateral 33B and 40B). Tyler (speaker 7), who joined remotely, advised clarifying map labels and confirmed the two laterals are part of the same system; the board set the public hearing for June 30 at 10:00 a.m.
Repair requests: the board directed staff to inspect two repair requests for open ditches in Fenton and Riverdale townships and assigned a supervisor to follow up.
What to watch: the drainage award involves significant aggregate dollar amounts and multiple drainage districts; final contracts, exact district schedules and contractor names should be confirmed in the county procurement records.
