Gosper County awards 2026–27 gravel contract to Paulsen Inc. at $12.06 per ton
Summary
The Gosper County Board of Commissioners accepted a $12.06-per-ton bid from Paulsen, Inc. for gravel delivered to county roads on a contract running July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027; the contract requires a performance bond based on an estimated 22,400 tons.
The Gosper County Board of Commissioners voted June 30 to award the county’s fiscal‑year 2026–27 gravel contract to Paulsen, Inc., of Cozad, after opening competitive bids at 10:05 a.m.
Highway Superintendent Kelly Lehmann and bidders were present when the Board opened two offers: Paulsen, Inc., at $12.06 per ton and Overton Sand & Gravel Co. at $12.20 per ton. Motion by Commissioner Bruce Bader to accept Paulsen’s bid was seconded by Chair Terry Lerdall and carried on a roll call vote of Aye: Lerdall, Bader, Hofman.
The contract requires a performance bond based on an estimated 22,400 tons of gravel to be delivered to Gosper County roads from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The Board’s action places the county under a single awarded supplier for the term; the minutes do not record bond amount or delivery schedule details.
The award follows the county’s formal bid opening process and was approved during the regular commissioners’ meeting. No public objections or additional bidder protests are recorded in the minutes.
