(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has accepted a bid for a streambank stabilization project southeast of Robinson. Greg Bebermeyer reports..
The Commission Monday accepted the low bid submitted by Aller’s LLC, of Hiawatha, in the amount of $201,680 for the project along 205th Road, contingent on the company meeting several requirements.
The bid was among two received.
Funding through the Natural Resources Conservation Services Emergency Watershed Protection Program will pay for 75 percent of the project cost, with the county responsible for the remaining 25 percent.
About 350 to 400 feet of the stream bank along the Wolf River will be repaired. The stream bank suffered heavy erosion during a storm on September 13th that brought heavy rainfall and flooding.
District Conservationist Matt Sprick says a start date for the project will not be set until there’s a 20-day window available to complete the project without any weather issues.
In other business, bids were opened for the purchase of a new rotary mower for the county road and bridge department.
The Commission accepted a bid from Skyview Equipment of Hiawatha for a New Holland disc mower for $5,000 with the trade-in of a 2012 mower.
Hiawatha Implement submitted a bid for the same amount for a John Deere mower, but the Commission opted to go with the bid from Skyview Equipment since the county has used parts on hand for a New Holland mower.
