The Action County Board of Commissioners on April 23 awarded a $230,235.50 contract to Sarver Paving for the county’s 2026 road-sealing program.
County Engineer Edward Meixner recommended the contract. Commissioners noted the procurement process produced an unusual tie in the first bid opening; the county rebid the work and the subsequent low bid came in roughly $5,000 less than the tie amount, a change commissioners said produced savings for taxpayers.
The board moved and seconded the contract approval and carried the motion by roll call. Commissioners said the procurement finish took longer than usual because of the tie and rebid, but that the process produced a cost advantage this cycle.
The Engineer’s Office will execute the contract and schedule the work for the 2026 road-sealing season. Additional project-level details, including the specific roads to be sealed and construction timing, were not specified in the meeting minutes and will be released by the Engineer’s Office when available.
