Board approves county‑wide NOVA chip overlay; transcript records conflicting bid amount
Summary
The board approved a NOVA chip thin-overlay project covering roughly 59.1 miles; Purchasing stated the low bid was $4,467,901.83 from Pearson Construction LLC, but the motion referenced $5,467,901 in the meeting record. Clerical confirmation of the correct contract amount is needed.
Purchasing recommended awarding the Sedgwick County '20-25 NOVA chip' thin asphalt overlay on approximately 59.1 miles of county roads to Pearson Construction LLC. In the purchasing presentation the amount recorded was $4,467,901.83 and the vendor was identified as Pearson Construction LLC.
During the motion, a board member stated the amount as $5,467,901; another member asked for confirmation of the dollar figure. The board proceeded to vote to accept the low bid. The record therefore contains two different dollar figures for the same award; the clerk's certified minutes and contract paperwork should be consulted to confirm the correct contract amount. Purchasing described the NovaChip process and its expected durability on high‑speed roadways.
