QUINNESEC — The Breitung Township Board on Monday forwarded to the Dickinson County Road Commission two bids for paving an East Kingsford street.

The board recommended the Bacco Construction Company of Iron Mountain, who bid $16,040 to repave Maple Street, be awarded the project.

The township had accepted a bid by Midwest Asphalt and Gravel Inc. of Iron Mountain in October to pave one lane of Maple Street, but later decided to repave both lanes of the street. The road commission, which will bear part of the project cost, then requested new project bids.

Midwest bid $24,175 for the new project.

In other business, the board:

— Paid $7,760 to Morin Excavating of Niagara, Wis., for work done on the Maple Street project, including utility installation, curb repair and soil restoration.

— Authorized Assessor Michael Gillett and Assessing Assistant Abbey Taylor to attend the Upper Peninsula Assessor’s Association Fall School in Harris, Michigan, on Aug. 27-28. School fees, lodging, mileage and meals are included.

— Permitted Superintendent Steve Mulka and Department of Public Works Superintendent Guy Forstrom to attend a supervisor training program hosted by the Dickinson County Healthcare System on Oct. 22 at the Pine Grove Country Club in Iron Mountain.

— Agreed to buy tickets for board members to attend a luncheon with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at the U.P. State Fair on Thursday. The cost is $20 per person, which also covers admission into the fairgrounds.
