Page County approves road contract, DOT road budget, equipment and facility contracts

The Page County Board of Supervisors approved several procurement and routine items at its meeting, including a road contract recommendation, delegation of electronic signing authority for that contract, the DOT secondary‑roads FY27 budget, a local rock petition with a landowner cost share, and miscellaneous equipment and facilities contracts.

County Engineer JD King reviewed road operations and recommended awarding the J53 base‑stabilization and seal‑coat contract to the low bidder, saying, “I'd recommend you award a contract to Jamie Holland.” The board moved and approved the contract award; the bid was reported in the meeting record at roughly $1.61 million (the transcript includes inconsistent digit formatting for the final figure and that amount should be confirmed in the county contract file).

The board approved resolution 19‑2026 to permit the county engineer to electronically sign the specific contract; members said the practice is routine for this type of road work. The panel also approved the DOT secondary‑roads FY27 budget because state law changes altered approval windows and required action that day.

On a citizen petition, the board approved a request to rock a quarter‑mile of 200 Street east of O Avenue to support a future residence. The total cost was stated at $12,000 with a $6,000 landowner share; the record indicated county crews could perform the work with minimal preparation.

On equipment and facilities, the board approved purchasing a Hustler commercial mower at the low bid of $7,399 with a four‑year warranty, and approved a $4,270 contract with Sweet Life Painting LLC for work at the Veterans Building after contractor representative Zack Bolphant presented timing and color-sample plans. The board also approved use of the courthouse grounds for the Glenn Miller Festival kickoff picnic and concert scheduled for June 11.

All motions for the items above were moved, seconded and called in the affirmative in the meeting record; specific individual vote tallies were not provided in the transcript.
