Commission awards low bid for 114th Avenue, approves several road pay requests
Summary
The Dunn County Commission awarded the 114th Avenue construction contract to Martin Construction after a public bid opening and approved multiple pay estimates for ongoing road and water projects, including a $207,405 pay request for JK Excavating. Votes on contracting and payments were unanimous where recorded.
The Dunn County Board of Commissioners on a unanimous roll-call vote awarded the construction contract for the 114th Avenue project to Martin Construction, the low bidder at $1,225,877.94. County project staff presented the bid tabulation and recommended Martin Construction; the board moved, seconded and approved the award.
County engineering staff also presented several routine pay estimates and final pay recommendations. The board approved a pay request for JK Excavating on the Manning Water Project in the amount of $207,405 following staff recommendation and a roll-call vote in which Commissioners Heiser, Olsen, Pelton and Dawson recorded “yes.” The board approved final pay estimate number 14 for the 10th Street/113th Avenue/7th Street project to Bridal Brothers for $55,947.40 and approved pay estimate number 1 for Charter Construction (11th Street Southwest) for $98,993.78, each by roll call as recorded.
Before awarding the 114th Avenue contract, staff read the bids at the public bid opening; Martin Construction’s low bid of $1,225,877.94 was confirmed after tabulation. Jeremy, the county project manager, told the commission he would return with a formal recommendation after reviewing bids and verifying totals; commissioners approved the staff recommendation when it was presented.
Separately, the board approved a motion to proceed with a redesign of the 82nd North project at a lower (35 mph) design speed after staff outlined an estimated redesign cost of $55,833 and noted federal permitting and layout changes that would follow the redesign.
The commission also approved a recommended pay estimate for JK Excavating related to Manning Water Works, and multiple routine pay estimates and final payments for road projects processed during the meeting. The actions were procedural approvals of recommended payments; commissioners did not amend the amounts on the floor.
The board recessed at the end of the session and scheduled follow-up as required for contract documents and signatures.
