(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Board of Supervisors today (Tuesday), approved local bids for a Bridge replacement project on Seattle Road. County Engineer Trent Wolken said there were three bidders for the projects: A.M. Cohron & Son, $112,400; Murphy Heavy Contracting, $159, 750, and one from Nelson & Rock, Contracting, for $193,000.

Wolken then provided the Board with an update on Secondary Roads Department maintenance and activities.

He said they’re just trying to get by until Spring. Board Chair Steve Baier had some words of advice for rural property owners with regard to keeping the secondary roads from being torn-up between now and this Spring…

Wolken said also, they have received two pickups, which is “good news.”

In other business, the Cass County Supervisors discussed and tabled action with regard to the County’s updated Investment Policy. Their reason for tabling is so that they can receive answers to some specific questions, especially with regard to a Return On Investment’s (ROI), and frequency of reports.
