Lancaster County awards $317,275.54 contract to replace Box Culvert D-121 downstream of Branched Oak Dam

Lancaster County approved a contract with Nemaha Sports Construction LLC dba Nemaha Infrastructure to replace Box Culvert D-121 (project 26-41) at a county cost not to exceed $317,275.54. County Engineer Pam Dingman said the structure is a drainage-way facility downstream of Branched Oak Dam; the road is currently closed and county staff are coordinating with the contractor to start work during a dry-weather window and complete replacement before winter so the road can reopen.

The motion to award the contract passed unanimously (Vest moved; Johnson seconded; vote recorded 5-0). Dingman emphasized the timing goal to take advantage of dry conditions and noted routine coordination with contractor crews to minimize public disruption.
