Vern Bauman Awarded Contract On Paving Projects For Special Road District A

The Special Road District A board awarded the bid for overlaying Industrial River Road and White Sands Road to Vern Bauman Contracting at its March 12 meeting.

Bauman bid $60.96 per ton, while Jokerst, Inc. bid $64.95 per ton.

The total for the project was estimated at $84,917 by Vern Bauman Contracting.

Jokerst’s total price was actually lower, due to a lower tonnage estimate. Both Special Road District A and the county use price per ton in selecting paving bids. The theory behind the policy is that if a job is done to specifications, any one of the bidders would wind up using virtually the same amount of material.
