The Charles Mix County Board of Commissioners voted April 23 to award the county’s 2024 chip-seal and fog-seal contract to The Road Guy Construction Co., Inc.
Sealed bids were opened for the Segment 38 project on County Road 34, a 6.8‑mile stretch. The Road Guy Construction’s low responsive bid totaled $220,621.00 — $172,045.00 for chip seal in place and $48,576.00 for fog seal in place. A competing bid submitted by Topkote, Inc. totaled $250,478.84. Commissioner Nick Stotz moved to accept The Road Guy Construction Co., Inc.’s bid; Vice Chairman Colin Soukup seconded the motion and the board approved it unanimously.
Why it matters: chip-seal and fog-seal treatments are standard maintenance practices that extend pavement life and are a recurring county expense. The project will cover the designated segment of County Road 34 in Charles Mix County; the county has not yet provided a start date or contract timeline.
Funding and next steps: the bid award was approved during the meeting with the board’s motion; the board did not specify funding sources or a project schedule in the meeting minutes. Staff will proceed with contract administration per county procedure.
