Clay County awards $622,048 micro‑surfacing contract to ASTECH Corp.
Summary
After receiving competitive bids the County accepted ASTECH Corp.'s low bid for the 2020 micro‑surfacing project covering several county roads; staff said low oil prices let the county expand mileage under the existing budget.
The Clay County Board awarded the 2020 micro‑surfacing road maintenance contract to ASTECH Corp., the low bidder, for $622,048.14.
Highway staff and Ulteig Engineering opened bids and recommended awarding the contract to ASTECH; commissioners approved the award on April 7, 2020 and authorized the chairman to sign the contract. Engineers briefed the board on options to expand mileage while the oil price environment remained favorable.
Why this matters: micro‑surfacing is a preventive pavement treatment that extends surface life at a fraction of full‑reconstruction costs. The county prioritized the project to preserve recent pavement investments and to stretch the available budget while prices were low.
