Dallas County board moves to award F‑90 paving contract to Manatt’s Inc.
Summary
The Board of Supervisors approved a resolution recommending award of the F‑90 widening and resurfacing contract to Manatt’s Inc., the low bidder at $3.313 million; the county engineer had estimated $3.433 million.
Dallas County’s Board of Supervisors moved to award the F‑90 widening and resurfacing project to Manatt’s Inc., the low bidder at the Iowa Department of Transportation letting on Feb. 17.
The project, described by the county engineer as FM‑C025(138)—55‑25, covers F‑90 from east of Osage Avenue east 2.4 miles to the Van Meter corporate limits. The county’s engineering packet shows Manatt’s low bid at $3,313,210.36; the engineer’s estimate was $3,432,786.56. County staff recommended the low bidder for award in a resolution placed on the board’s March 3 agenda and authorized the county engineer to sign the contract.
The project plans and tabulations attached to the county materials list standard work items including modified subbase, hot‑mix asphalt thin‑lift and high‑traffic mixes, pavement milling and markings, and traffic control; the county’s bid tabulation lists five bidders. The contract schedule in the DOT letting packet sets a completion window for roughly the 2026 construction season and specifies liquidated damages if the work is not completed on time.
The Board’s action was a formal award recommendation and does not itself change the contract terms; the county engineer will execute the construction contract with the successful bidder. The project record includes the DOT bid tabulation, contract boilerplate, and the county’s recommended resolution.
