County sets Feb. 2 rock-letting date, plans largely mirror last year

Buchanan County Board of Supervisors · January 12, 2026

Summary

Secondary Roads recommended keeping rock-letting procedures similar to last year (split county, ~300 tons per mile, 10% overage ~109,000 tons); board set the letting for Feb. 2 at 9:15 a.m.

Secondary Roads staff told the board they intend to follow last year's approach for the county rock letting: split the county into two divisions, allocate roughly 300 tons per mile, and include a 10% overage — about 109,000 tons in total. Staff said that because the county is largely using similar specs and bidders, the county would keep the same short-term plan and make incremental adjustments next year.

Staff asked the board to choose a letting date; depending on schedule the options were Feb. 2 or Feb. 9. The board selected Feb. 2 at 9:15 a.m. for the rock letting and approved adding the item to the February agenda.

The board also discussed notification and the expectation that the same regional companies typically bid each year; no changes to specifications were enacted at the meeting.
