Nemaha County selects Vogtscapes for Brock West bridge; motor-grader purchase approved
Summary
After opening four bids, the county awarded Brock West C-64(335) bridge replacement to Vogtscapes Inc. for $752,311; commissioners also approved purchase of a Caterpillar 140 motor grader to refresh highway fleet.
The Nemaha County Board moved forward on a major bridge replacement and heavy-equipment upgrade in late 2022. At its Nov. 9 session the board opened competing bids for the Brock West C-64(335) bridge replacement; of four bids received, Vogtscapes Inc. submitted the low acceptable bid at $752,311. Commissioners approved Vogtscapes' proposal with construction anticipated in spring 2023.
The same Nov. 9 meeting included competitive procurement for fleet replacement. The board opened motor-grader bids and accepted NMC Cat’s proposal to supply a Caterpillar 140 motor grader for $370,580. The grader award and the bridge contract are part of a broader highway program the county documented across its One & Six Year Plan and multiple procurement actions during 2022.
