Planning Needed
Before Work Begins
By CLIFF SANDAHL
Chairman. Nebraska Editors
Highway Conference
That timing is of the essence
in highway planning has been
brought into sharp focus in Ne
braska this year because of so
much emphasis being placed via
the printed and spoken word on
the need for additional revenue.
It is a well known fact that the
bulk of the major highway work
has to be done during the warm
months of the year.
But it is not such a well
known fact that it takes at least
two months of advance planning
before any contract work can be
gotten under way—even after
the money is available or is
known to be available.
In other words, if highway
department officials would know
on the first of May that there
was to be additional income for
state highways, it would be at
least the first of July before any
contract work actually could be
started.
But the best part of it is that
most of the work getting under
way on the first of July could
be completed or well cm the way
to completion by the time cold
weather sets in.
Here is a rundown of the pro
cedure: Plans for highway con
struction that are virtually com
plete must be rechecked just
before advertising for bids to
see if there have been any recent
changes utilities, driveways or
intersecting county roads that
would affect the project. This
rechecking and changing of
plans would probably require a
week.
Preparing specifications and
notices to contractors might re
quire another week.
State law requires that the
highway department advertise
for bids for three consecutive
weeks. If everything went
smoothly, contractors’ bids for
construction work might be
opened at a letting at the end of
the sixth week after a go-ahead
signal at the first of May.
[Nearly all construction work
undertaken by the Nebraska
highway department is financed
with 50 percent of federal aid
highway funds, and the United
States Bureau of Public Roads
must okay the low bidders be
fore contracts can be awarded
that will involve federal funds.
The highway department re
quires all low bidders to obtain
bonds in the full amount of their
bids before contracts are award
ed.
The seventh week after the
first of May would probably
elapse before bonds and federal
okays could be obtained and
contracts could be awarded.
Contractors would require at
least a week, likely two weeks,
after winning contracts before
they could get their men, mater
ials and equiptment on the job
site. Thus there is no doubt
about the need for getting start
ed as early as possible during
the highway construction season.
Mr. and Mrs. John Schwartz
of Atkinson were Sunday guests
in the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Houser.
