Committee designates Milton Construction as primary vendor for Class‑3 landfill reshaping
Summary
Public works staff asked the committee to confirm a vendor and funding carryover to reshape and rebalance Class‑3 landfill cells to meet state permit requirements; the committee approved designating Milton Construction as the primary vendor with a secondary gravel supplier.
Public Works staff presented a plan to rebalance and reshape a Class‑3 landfill cell to meet state permit requirements and to begin work before winter conditions could hamper construction.
Matt Davis (Public Works) described the work as necessary to "bring us some compliance with the state permit" and said the county had accepted bids at its prior meeting. He said geotechnical testing and oversight would be provided by consultant Jeff Costell, who would "test the soil before we move it" and follow the project during construction to ensure compliance and environmental soundness.
Davis told the committee the county budget committee approved a budget amendment and carryover to move funding from last fiscal year into the current fiscal year to cover the project. His recommendation to the committee was to designate Milton Construction as the primary contractor on the project and to name a local gravel company as the secondary vendor in case Milton could not fulfill certain quantities. He also said the county expects to use on‑site soils first and does not expect to spend the full $808,000 that had been budgeted unless unanticipated conditions require it.
A motion to accept Davis's recommendation to designate Milton Construction as the primary vendor was seconded and the committee called the roll; the motion carried.
Why it matters: The work addresses a permit compliance issue that Public Works said needs to be done before winter. Staff emphasized geotechnical testing and consultant oversight to avoid environmental or permit violations.
What happens next: With committee approval, procurement will finalize contracts and project oversight will include geotechnical testing by consultant Jeff Costell. The project will proceed through the county's procurement and budget processes as required.
