Boone County supervisors approved a package of road and maintenance contracts and detour compensations during their April 15 meeting.
County Engineer Jonathan Bullock opened pavement-marking bids; three contractors submitted proposals and the apparent low bidder was CamLine Highway at $64,950.43, which Bullock said the engineer’s office will review before any award. The board then authorized several contracts and payments by recorded motion and unanimous vote.
The board signed a Noxious Weed Spraying contract with B & W Control Specialists for $37,149 and approved contracts with Stratford Gravel, Inc. for Project GS-01-2026 ($472,800) and Project GS-02-2026 ($401,800). The supervisors also approved detour compensation payments for three highway projects totaling $42,422.13 (the three detour compensation amounts recorded on the agenda sum to $36,451.55, $3,589.46 and $2,382.12). All motions were approved by roll call as noted in the minutes (motions moved and seconded by Supervisors Longhorn and Bryant as recorded).
Bullock provided a departmental update including hauling rock, upcoming guardrail spraying and a discussion of the county’s RAGBRAI route responsibilities. Drainage Clerk Katie Moran briefed the board on watchperson services and plans to turn Drainage District #213 over to the City of Boone after current projects finish. The board appointed Steve Young, Tyler Conley and Brett Buchholz as Drainage District #112 commissioners (motion by Longhorn, second Bryant; unanimous approval).
What’s next: the pavement-marking apparent low bid will be reviewed by the engineer’s office before a formal award; signed contracts and detour compensations will proceed as executed by the board.
