County engineer reports paving progress; commissioners approve $48,187.54 final payment for County Road project
Summary
County Engineer Todd Grafton updated the board on paving, milling and detour work affecting Cyrus and Hancock and on striping/shouldering schedules; the board approved a final payment to the contractor (transcript: 'Wavener Company of Herman') in the amount of $48,187.54.
Todd Grafton, Stevens County’s engineer, updated commissioners on current highway work and expected completion dates. He described sequencing of milling, leveling course and wear courses on County Road 18 and discussed detour routing through Hancock and Cyrus; he asked the county to post local-traffic guidance as drivers follow GPS routing that can contradict official detours. "We should be pretty much wrapped up here by the end of the week," Grafton said about the paving work.
The board approved a final payment to the contractor identified in the transcript as "Wavener Company of Herman" in the amount of $48,187.54 for grading and paving work on the project (motion carried by voice vote). Grafton also reported upcoming shouldering, culvert coordination with Burlington Northern on a siding replacement, and other maintenance work including aggregate shouldering and gravel projects. Board members asked about schedule, equipment performance, and the county’s responsibilities for restoration of haul roads if damaged.
