The Saline County Commission will consider awarding a road-shoulder construction contract to APAC-Kansas for an estimated $201,120 at its Tuesday, Nov. 10, meeting at 9 a.m. at 300 W. Ash in Salina.

APAC submitted the lower of two bids opened Oct. 29. So Kan Excavating bid $298,500, compared with an engineer's estimate of $247,500. Staff recommend APAC's unit-price bid.

The estimate includes 3,500 tons of aggregate shoulder-edge material at $44.65 per ton, $25,000 for mobilization and $19,845 for traffic control. Final payment would depend on actual quantities used.

Work must be completed by Jan. 21, 2027. Funding would come from the Special Highway Improvement Fund.
