(KNZA)--A chip-and-seal road project is moving forward in Jackson County following action by county commissioners earlier this month.

At their March 9 meeting, commissioners voted unanimously to accept a bid from Topeka-based Pavecraft for the work, totaling $289,500.

The project will cover about nine miles of roadway. Work includes Q4 Road between 234th and 286th, as well as 214th Road from P Road to R5 Road.

Three bids were submitted for the project. Commissioners said the lowest bid, from Vance Brothers, was not detailed enough for full evaluation, which led to the selection of the Pavecraft bid.

A start date for the project has not yet been announced.
