(KNZA)--A Brown County box culvert replacement project moves forward.

The Brown County Commission voted Monday to accept the low bid submitted by Siebenmorgen Excavating, of Robinson, for the replacement of a box culvert on Dewberry Road, south of U.S. 36, in the amount of $64,425.

It was among two bids received.

The existing box culvert will be removed and replaced with two 48 by 30 foot tubes.

In other business, the Commission voted to authorize Commission Chairman Lucas Heinen to sign a letter formally requesting a one-year extension from the state for the completion of the Northeast Kansas Area Agency on Aging Community Development Block Grant project.

The grant was awarded to help fund the construction of the Agency's new multi-use facility near the Hiawatha Wal-Mart Store.

Following delays, ground was broken for the project in March.

Grant administrator, Brett Waggoner with Lawrence-based Governmental Assistance Services, met with the Commission to request the extension.
