Deuel County Commissioners on May 19 approved a series of infrastructure and procurement actions, awarding a bridge construction contract, authorizing engineering services, buying a motor grader and awarding a six-month fuel contract.
Chairman Jay Grabow presided as Highway Superintendent Jamie Broksieck reviewed bids and repair needs. The board awarded the construction contract for Box Culvert 20-008-220 to BX Civil and Construction Inc. for $695,750 after excluding two bids from firms that were not SDDOT pre-qualified; Mark Junker of Banner Associates advised the board on SDDOT prequalification requirements. Commissioner Harry Mewherter moved to approve the BX Civil bid; Commissioner Steve Rhody seconded and all voted yes.
The board also approved a $60,000 contract with Banner Associates for engineering on Box Culvert 20-008-220 (motion by Scott Fieber, seconded by Judith Homan). Broksieck said the Banner contract covers the engineering services necessary to proceed with the project.
On equipment procurement, Broksieck presented Sourcewell contract options to replace a motor grader with roughly 18,000 hours. Commissioner Scott Fieber moved, seconded by Steve Rhody, to approve purchase of a John Deere 772P motor grader under Sourcewell contract #011723-JDC for $486,697.06; the motion carried. Broksieck said that purchase will be funded from the capital outlay fund.
The commission approved a roughly $8,000 purchase of 300 tons of 3/4-inch rock from Fischer’s for county structures (motion by Steve Rhody, seconded by Harry Mewherter), and accepted the low fuel bid from Coles Petroleum for a six-month county fuel contract after bids were opened (motion by Scott Fieber, seconded by Harry Mewherter). Commissioners also discussed the Transportation Alternatives Grant through the South Dakota Department of Transportation and agreed Broksieck should pursue planning-stage application steps. The commission agreed to continue dust control on Clear Lake Road and Lake Cochrane Road for public-safety reasons.
All motions described above were approved unanimously.
