Bottineau council approves $175,200 construction contract for 2026 paving project
Summary
The Bottineau City Council approved a fixed-price $175,200 construction contract for the 2026 Paving Project and learned the city was denied an NDDOT Transportation Alternative Grant for a Shared Use Path mill/overlay.
The Bottineau City Council on May 4 approved a $175,200 fixed-price construction contract for the city’s 2026 Paving Project after a presentation from Wold Engineering. The firm told the council the project might begin around Memorial Day and contractors prefer to finish by July to avoid truck traffic during harvest season. Council member Marsden moved to approve the engineer’s construction contract; Fix seconded and a roll-call vote was unanimous.
Wold Engineering also reported that the Transportation Alternative Grant application through the North Dakota Department of Transportation for a mill/overlay on the Shared Use Path along Highway 5 was denied. The firm said the grant was not included in the city’s original cost estimates because it was considered a long shot. The council noted the approved contract is a fixed amount, a requirement tied to flex grant funding.
The council’s approval clears the path for the contractor procurement and scheduling described by the city engineer. The administration did not specify an exact start date beyond the Memorial Day window or the contractor selected; those details are to be finalized as procurement moves forward.
