Mountrail County shifts CR3 Palermo North project from gravel to pavement; approves $26.9M construction estimate and $3.5M engineering amendment
Summary
The board approved changing the CR3/Palermo North Reconstruction design from gravel to pavement with estimated construction costs of $26,885,000 and approved Sauber Engineering Amendment No.1 adding $3,500,000 for engineering (adjusted not‑to‑exceed $4,460,000).
Mountrail County Commissioners voted on Jan. 7 to change the CR3/Palermo North Reconstruction Project design from gravel to pavement for Phase I and Phase II, with an estimated construction cost of $26,885,000. The board also approved Amendment No. 1 to Sauber Engineering’s contract, increasing the engineering amount by $3,500,000 for a revised not‑to‑exceed total of $4,460,000. Both motions passed unanimously on roll call.
County engineers presented cost and design rationale before the vote; the minutes record that Commissioner Joan Hollekim moved the paving design change and Commissioner John DeGroot seconded the engineering amendment. The board’s action advances a large multi‑phase reconstruction project and commits both construction and additional engineering dollars to the CR3 corridor.
