(KNZA)--A culvert replacement project was discussed at Monday's meeting of the Doniphan County Commission.

According to the unofficial meeting minutes, contractor Keenan Baird with Baird Excavating met with the Commission to discuss the status of the project on 275th Road.

Baird told Commissioners that due to unforeseen circumstances with the project and the Commission's not willing to work with him on any change orders, he gave official note not to finish the project.

Baird presented the Commission with an invoice in the amount of nearly $15,000 for equipment costs and machine hours already invested in the project.

Following an executive session, the Commission voted 2-1 to pay Baird $10,000 for work performed on the project. Commissioner Wayne Grable cast the dissenting vote.

The Commission directed road office manager Lindsay Norris to prepare bid specifications for re-bidding the project, which is to be completed on or before September 15th.
