Pre-RFPPublic WorksDetected Jun 15, 2026

During the June 15, 2026 Clitherall Township Board meeting, the board discussed several road-related needs, including a bid from Performance Paving for work on 190th, upcoming work by Shores Excavating on South Clitherall Lake Road, and the need to identify signs that must be replaced and brush that needs trimming. Board members agreed to divide the township using the gravel map and each take a section to identify needed sign replacements and brush clearing, indicating a broader program of roadway and right-of-way maintenance beyond the already named contractors. These discussions suggest that while portions of the work are already associated with Performance Paving and Shores Excavating, there are additional, not-yet-scoped needs for gravel work, sign replacement, and vegetation management.This creates space for vendors in road maintenance, traffic control materials, and right-of-way services to propose solutions as the board formalizes the next round of work. A useful next conversation would be around helping the township define unit pricing, priority lists, and bundled maintenance packages once the board’s road tour and inventory are complete.

Strande was noted as not completing gravel work in a timely manner, which may influence future vendor selection for gravel-related services.
