(KNZA)--A bid has been accepted for a Brown County bridge replacement project in the northeastern portion of the county.
The County Commission Monday accepted the low bid submitted by Norfolk Contracting, of Norfolk, Nebraska, for the replacement of a bridge on 310th Road over Roy’s Creek between Sunflower and Sagebrush Roads in the amount of $297,850.
Five bids were received ranging up to nearly $499,000.
A start date hasn’t been set yet for the project.
At the request of County Noxious Weed Director George Bruning, the Commission approved the purchase of two new roadside sprayers from Fairbank Equipment for a total cost of $25,171.
Commissioners also approved the annual contract with the Kansas Department of Transportation for the spraying of state right-of-ways. The county will charge the state $30 an hour for labor and $40 per hour for equipment.
