County staff: new building design out to bid soon; yard‑dog equipment repaired and back in service
Summary
Staff reported the replacement building is under design with construction documents to be bid in June and that a yard‑dog vehicle had electrical issues over the weekend but is repaired and back in operation; a replacement engine is installed and in service.
Public works staff updated commissioners on two operational items: the building replacement project and a yard‑dog vehicle used in transfer‑station operations.
Staff said the new building is under design and that construction documents should be ready for bid around June 9; staff expected to return with construction bids in July or August for commissioner consideration. Separately, staff reported the yard‑dog (a yard tractor used at the transfer station) experienced an electrical/battery issue over the weekend, a mechanic repaired the unit and staff had installed a replacement engine; staff said the yard‑dog was placed back into service and used at the transfer station the preceding Friday.
Commissioners asked about equipment readiness and the replacement timeline for the building; staff confirmed the engine portion of the yard‑dog replacement is complete and that bidding for construction will proceed as scheduled. No formal actions were taken in the work session on these items.
