Board awards G28 concrete pavement contract, authorizes county engineer to sign
Summary
County Engineer Bridal Hrovsky reported strong competition at the DOT letting for the G28 PCC grade‑and‑replace project; the board approved a resolution to accept the low bid and authorized the engineer to execute contract documents electronically.
The Muscatine County Board of Supervisors voted to accept bids and authorize award of a contract for the G28 PCC pavement grade‑and‑replace project on 230th Street (project FMC07078‑55‑70). The board also approved a resolution giving the county engineer authority to electronically execute contract documents after award.
County Engineer Bridal Hrovsky said the DOT letting produced robust competition with 11 bids and the low bids were close: "the low 7 is within 8% of each other, and there's 11 bids overall." He credited a flexible schedule and a late start date next year for favorable pricing and recommended awarding the contract. The resolution would allow the engineer to approve contractor documents online, such as certificates of insurance and bonds, without returning to the board for final contract‑document approval.
The board took a roll‑call vote and approved the award and authorization (unanimous). Hrovsky said that once contract documents are received and reviewed, staff will coordinate schedule discussions with the contractor and proceed to construction planning.
