Blue Earth County's drainage authority on Aug. 19 awarded a contract to Sellers Construction LLC to install grant-funded alternative side intakes (ASIs) affecting portions of County Ditch 25. Staff said the ASIs are water-quality structures funded through a Soil and Water Conservation District grant and are part of a larger repair plan for County Ditch 25.
Craig (staff) told the authority that two quotes were received for the ASI installation and that Sellers Construction submitted the lowest lump-sum quote of $28,180 against an engineer's estimate of $41,685. The county's engineering consultant ISG recommended awarding the project to Sellers Construction LLC; staff said the contractor had worked on similar county projects with positive results.
A commissioner moved, and the drainage authority voted to award the contract to Sellers Construction LLC in the amount of $28,180. Staff noted the work is grant-funded; no public comment was recorded on the item. Work authorization will follow standard county procurement and grant‑reporting procedures.
