The Coffey County Board of Commissioners awarded assorted tire contracts and heard updates on road repairs and ditching projects.
Bids: Road supervisor Ryan reported four bids for assorted tires; commissioners approved a motion awarding parcels 1–5 to Bart Tire (Burlington) and a partial parcel to Sy’s Auto (Lebo), with funds coming from the road and bridge fund. (The motion passed unanimously.)
Intersection repairs: Ryan said the intersection near Leroy — already showing alligatored pavement — needs additional work on the south side of 58 and estimated about 140 tons of asphalt and roughly $25,000 to repair the area while crews are mobilized.
Ditching and weather impacts: A separate drainage and fill project — about a mile of ditching with a quarter‑mile of road fill — has been slowed by heavy June rains but advanced during recent dry periods; Ryan said progress will resume when weather allows and that several entrances and finishing touches remain.
Why it matters: Road and bridge maintenance is paid from restricted county funds and directly affects local traffic safety and farm access; commissioners asked for estimates to be formalized as change orders when work is authorized.
Next steps: Staff will formalize the intersection change order and report final bid documentation and exact contract amounts in the clerk’s packet.
