Sarpy County approves $306,826 low bid to replace fence along 180th Street; completion due before school year
Summary
The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners awarded a $306,826 contract to American Fence Company to replace a retaining-wall fence on 180th Street; the project is budgeted at $500,000, will replace wood with steel fencing, and is expected to finish by Aug. 7, 2026.
The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners on July 7 voted to award the low bid for a retaining-wall fence replacement along 180th Street to American Fence Company for $306,826. Assistant County Administrator Beth Garber presented the project, which will replace the existing wood fence with a steel (wrought-iron style) fence on top of the retaining wall from Camelback Avenue to Palisades Avenue.
Garber said purchasing opened six bids on June 12; the bid range extended as high as $584,969 and the county’s project budget is $500,000. Public works staff reached out to neighbors, including the homeowners association and the SID, and reported no objections to the revised fence type, though some neighbors expressed concern about timing. Garber told commissioners the project is expected to be complete by Aug. 7, 2026 — prior to the start of the school year.
Commissioners raised whether engineering had been contacted and whether other parties might contribute to costs; staff said discussions with Olson and Hawkins are ongoing and a definitive contribution had not yet been determined. Commissioner Warren moved to approve Resolution 185 to award the contract; the motion was seconded and the board approved the resolution by voice vote.
Later in the meeting the board voted to enter executive session to discuss litigation and returned to open session before adjourning.
