Woodbury County awards $42,626.80 contract for 325th Street bridge replacement
Summary
The county awarded a low bid to Dixon Construction Company to replace a small bridge on 325th Street (one‑tenth mile east of K67) with a twin box culvert; the low bid came in well under the county estimate and the board approved the contract.
The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors voted to award a contract to Dixon Construction Company for the replacement of a bridge on 325th Street (approximately one‑tenth mile east of K67) with a twin box culvert. Laura, the county’s secondary-roads representative, reported two bidders: Dixon Construction Company submitted the low bid of $42,626.80; Graves Construction Company, Inc. submitted a higher bid. County staff had estimated the project at about $600,000.
Laura told the board the contract includes a flexible schedule: the contractor could complete the work this summer, over the winter, or next summer depending on timing. The board accepted the low bid and authorized staff to prepare a contract with Dixon Construction so work can proceed when scheduled.
Motion and vote: The motion to award the low bid was made by Nelson and seconded by Dietrich; the board recorded the motion as passing unanimously.
Why it matters: The low bid is substantially below the county estimate, which may allow the county to complete the replacement at a lower cost than anticipated; the project addresses a specific local infrastructure need on 325th Street.
