Stevens County board awards county‑road mill-and-overlay contract to Mark Sand & Gravel
Summary
The board approved awarding a mill-and-overlay (SAP 075-610-0011) for County CD10 to Mark Sand & Gravel and accepted an updated construction budget reflecting higher state aid; the bid packet and engineer's estimate were reviewed before the motion passed unanimously.
Stevens County commissioners voted to award the mill-and-overlay contract for County CD10 to Mark Sand & Gravel after reviewing the bid packet and updated construction budget. County staff told the board the project, which stretches to the Pope County line, was bid below the engineer's estimate but exceeded the originally budgeted amount because funding was expected to come from multiple sources. County staff said a higher-than-anticipated regular state aid allotment partly offset the overage.
The county presented the engineer's estimate and the bid abstract for board review. Rebecca Young, sitting in for County Engineer Todd Larson, presented the recommendation and the board approved the motion to award the contract. The board record shows the motion to award was made and seconded and carried without recorded opposition.
Why it matters: awarding the contract allows procurement and preconstruction steps to proceed on a project county staff said is within the scope of regular state aid and municipal construction funds. County staff noted the updated construction budget in the packet reflecting the actual bid amounts.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract documents and move to construction and preconstruction coordination with the winning bidder. The board did not record a detailed roll-call vote in the minutes beyond the standard approval motion.
