Itasca County accepts final payment for CSAH 7 paving project; final cost below bid
Summary
The board approved final payment for Contract 60730 (CSAH 7 grading and bituminous surfacing). Bid: $6,428,624.39; final amount recommended: $6,295,727.64. County staff attributed savings to finding better soils, reducing muck excavation.
Itasca County approved final payment for Contract 60730 — a grading, aggregate base and bituminous surfacing project on County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 7 between CSAH 59 and CSAH 8 — and authorized signatures to close out the contract.
Road project presenter Rachel Metelak told the board the contract bid amount was $6,428,624.39 and the final amount recommended for payment is $6,295,727.64. Metelak said the project came in slightly under budget in part because crews found better soils, which required less muck excavation than anticipated.
The board recorded the approval as a 3–0 vote and instructed the County Board Chair and Clerk to sign the necessary closeout documents. The RBA packet lists the closeout packet as supporting documentation and shows the county attorney review as not applicable.
