Commission approves multiple culvert and road repairs; FEMA damage assessment estimated at $2.55 million
Summary
The commission approved contractor quotes for building hookups, crush rock, riprap and culvert repairs and authorized payments; highway staff reported a preliminary FEMA damage estimate of $2,553,290.77 and said FEMA representatives will visit to verify damages.
County highway staff presented a package of road and culvert work and the commission approved several motions to accept bids and pay invoices when received. Jason, representing the highway department, requested acceptance of a $12,500 quote from Abe's Excavating to locate water and sewer hookups for a five-door building and the motion passed. He also presented a low bid from DS Construction of $21.37 per ton for approximately 4,536 tons of 2-inch minus crush rock (about $112,956.48) to repair soft spots; commissioners authorized moving forward.
On broader disaster recovery, Jason said, “Our preliminary estimate total is up to $2,553,290.77,” and reported that FEMA will bring representatives to the county the following week to drive the sites and verify damages. The commission authorized payment of several smaller culvert repairs (examples: a $13,800 Johnson Excavating crossover repair and a $9,800 culvert plus a $2,000 installation in a separate township crossing) and approved a culvert order of $42,785.92 for stockyard/resale culverts to restock county inventory.
