Union County awards $84,527 pavement‑marking contract, approves equipment purchases

Union County commissioners voted to accept Sir Lines A Lot’s low bid of $84,527.25 for the Southeast South Dakota County Striping Project, a cooperative procurement involving 15 counties.

The county summary of bids showed two submissions: Sir Lines A Lot at $84,527.25 and Vogel Traffic Services at $95,228.16. Commissioner Dailey moved to accept the Sir Lines A Lot bid and Commissioner Ustad seconded; the motion carried.

The meeting's claims list—approved by motion earlier in the session—also included a $134,789 machinery purchase from Sanitation Products Inc. and other large equipment and repair items listed under highway and maintenance vendors. Those claims were audited and warrants drawn as part of routine county financial business.

No additional debate on the striping contract or the larger equipment procurements is recorded in the minutes; commissioners accepted the bids and claims as presented. The striping work is part of multi‑county cooperative procurement; the minutes do not specify delivery or start dates.

Commissioners continued with executive sessions and other agenda items after approving the contract and claims.
