The Adair County Board of Supervisors on July 15 authorized county signatures on a sign right-of-way contract and the front page of plans for the W9 Washington RCB Extension Project (LFM-LRCBEW9W-7X-01).
County Engineer Nick Kauffman told the board the N8 Eureka box culvert will be completed under a Hungry Canyons grant project while design work continues on the N8 Richland project. Crews are working on the W18 Harrison project, where rock was encountered earlier than anticipated. Grimes Asphalt is scheduled to begin the Casey/Rose Acres work on Monday and the engineer said the contractor expected to complete that portion in one day.
Kauffman said the county must rerate, inspect and re-sign 78 bridges to comply with updated requirements for special-haul vehicles. He also reported equipment status: a new truck is at Hawkeye for repairs, a new motor grader has been delivered, and a replacement engine has arrived for the Bridgewater motor grader; the county plans to sell one grader. Kauffman added the county intends to crush the rock pile in Orient later this fall or in the winter.
On motions from supervisors the board approved signing the right-of-way contract and the front page of the project plans. No new funding amounts or contract dollar values were provided in the minutes.
