Road & Bridge Engineer Jana Hennessy briefed commissioners on a string of road and airport matters on Oct. 15. A request from Baranko Companies to reduce contract retainage on CR10 from 5% to 1% was denied by the board per the contract. The denial motion passed unanimously.
Hennessy also updated the board that pavement work on 36th St NW is scheduled to be finished in 2025 and discussed a letter from KLJ regarding construction of the Parshall Airport runway projected to start in 2026. The board approved signing the annual Maintenance Certification for County Federal Aid Projects with the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) by roll call vote.
The minutes record the denial of the retainage reduction and approvals on NDDOT certification, but they do not include engineering estimates or contract amendment text; staff follow-up is required for contracting and scheduling details.
