Board authorizes $600,004 contract for Dakota Rail Regional Trail bridge work

Carver County Board of Commissioners · July 22, 2026

Summary

The County Railroad Authority authorized a contract award to Pember Companies for bridge repairs and a culvert replacement on the Dakota Rail Regional Trail, a $600,004 bid contingent on contract review; staff said work will require coordination with trail-permit events and expects a preconstruction meeting soon.

County staff told the board the Dakota Rail Regional Trail project includes two structures: replacement of a box culvert and repair/replacement of an adjacent bridge about two miles west of New Germany near the county line. The county sought authorization for two contracts: continued consultant design/engineering services with Stonebrook and a construction award to Pember Companies. "We do have 2 contracts are looking for authorization from you on related to that project," staff said.

A committee member moved to award the contract to Pember Companies for the repair and replacement work and specified a bid amount of $600,004.00, contingent on successful completion of contract review. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff said there is not yet a published construction schedule, that a preconstruction meeting would be set up as soon as possible, and that trail permit users (including local walking or speed-walking events) will likely need to reroute or modify courses during construction.
