Sac County Supervisors approve the preconstruction agreement for Sac City bypass

… Road vacation of Quincy Ave, grading at intersections eased back to 2%

SAC CITY, IOWA – NOVEMBER 23, 2010








1. The grades of the intersections of the gravel roads that will be opened for the winter are kind of guesstimated at 2%, but there were no designs to follow.
2. All the berms are built, so the bridges can start being built.
- Raccoon, N14 bridges have been let.
- the bridge over 230th hasn’t been let yet.
-- Both bridges will be worked on all winter.
3. County line road not very dry in the spring and work may not be able to begin until fall of 2011.
- That is up to the contractors.
- Bridge berms were the projects that were emphasized.
4. This is the item that was added to make sure the grades are at 2% at the intersections.
5. Sac County Engineer will make short term decisions to let two consecutive roads close at one time to speed the process up.
- It will depend on if it is harvest time.
6. DOT doesn’t want Quincy vacated until the end of the projects so that the contractors can continue to use it to access the work areas on the bypass.
- It will be a dead end from both the north and the south.
- Local people are feeling some discontent about that not connecting.
7. Supervisors approve agreement.
8. Highly detailed discussion about bridges.
