Dunn County approves multiple road pay requests, awards 12th Street contract
Summary
The Dunn County Board approved a series of contractor pay requests and closed out several road projects, and staff reported timelines and bids for upcoming construction including a contract awarded to Bronco Brothers for 12th Street.
The Dunn County Board of Commissioners approved several contractor pay requests and received updates on planned road work.
Road staff reported design and construction timelines for a slate of projects, including 16th Street (design work underway, construction likely in 2026), 98th Avenue (final design, planned for 2027) and longer routes such as 79th Street (being split into two phases to allow partial 2027 funding). Commissioners heard that some projects are planned for 2028 to allow flexibility in the capital program.
The board approved pay request number three for 119th Avenue Southwest to CSI and pay request number four for 99th Avenue Southwest to Martin Construction by roll call votes. Staff also presented final and semi‑final pay estimates and closed out multiple projects, including a final payment for Pinewood Meadows to Northern Improvement in the amount presented by staff and a final estimate to Schwarz Construction for 103rd Avenue.
Staff said the county awarded the 12th Street contract to Bronco Brothers for the amount shown in the bid package; a pre‑construction meeting was held and work was expected to start with topsoil stripping in mid‑July and pipe and earthwork later in July, with a contract completion date in early October.
Commissioners asked questions about project timelines and whether redesign or delayed completion dates might yield better bid prices. Staff agreed to provide updated schedules and cost comparisons as projects move toward bidding and construction.
The board also discussed local issues tied to projects, including easement signings on Seventh Street projects and one landowner delaying final right‑of‑way conveyance for timing reasons. Staff said they expect the remaining right‑of‑way to be cleared but that timing may shift based on outstanding legal matters.
The board voted to approve the pay requests and closeout payments by roll call; further schedule and cost updates were requested for future meetings.
