Palmer Street bridge contract approved; county opens bids for chip seal and asphalt projects
Summary
The board awarded the Palmer Street Bridge replacement to Ebert Construction for $309,115.96, approved a dust‑control contract to Scotwood Industries, and authorized going out to bid on 2026 chip seal and asphalt projects.
Public Works items were a major operational portion of the March 2 meeting.
Public Works Administrator Tim Eisenbarth presented several items. The minutes note: “Motion: Drew moved to award 2026 Dust Control Bid to Scotwood Industries. McKee seconded, motion carried 5-0.” The board also authorized staff to go out to bid for 2026 chip seal and 2026 asphalt projects after a motion by Commissioner McKee and second by Gary Yenzer. In a separate recorded motion, Commissioner Bill Drew moved to award the Palmer Street Bridge replacement to Ebert Construction for $309,115.96; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Merl Page and passed 5‑0.
The minutes record the procurement decisions and dollar amounts for the bridge contract but do not include contract start dates, performance milestones, or funding source breakdowns. Those implementation details will require follow‑up with Public Works staff.
