County names H&K low bidder for hot‑mix at $64.75/ton; Knife River and Patco named alternates
Summary
Public Works opened hot‑mix asphalt bids and the board approved H&K as primary supplier at $64.75/ton, Knife River at $66/ton as secondary and Patco at $67.50/ton as tertiary; commissioners said the lower prices will help address paving budget shortfalls.
Public Works opened bids for hot‑mix asphalt and the board approved H&K as the primary supplier at $64.75 per ton, with Knife River ($66/ton) and Patco ($67.50/ton) designated as alternates.
Public Works staff said three bids were received and that H&K’s plant price of $64.75/ton (St. Leon plant) was the lowest. The county will use H&K as the primary supplier and move to Knife River or Patco if H&K cannot supply product when needed. A commissioner said the price was lower than last year and would help mitigate expected budget shortfalls in road operations.
The motion to approve H&K as primary, Knife River as the second choice and Patco as the third passed by roll call.
