Commissioners approve Beaver Hill change orders, authorize temporary pit area and roof‑replacement related work
Summary
The board authorized change orders and contract signature authority to keep the Beaver Hill pit/operations running while replacement work proceeds, approving related expenditures including a temporary works authorization and a roof‑replacement change not to exceed roughly $102,050.
Coos County commissioners approved change orders and authorization to sign on behalf of the county to support ongoing work at the Beaver Hill pit and an associated roof‑replacement project.
Road department staff (presenter identified as Paul) described a need for temporary pit operations and a change order under the county’s contract with a contractor (Wardell or Mordell referenced in discussion). Staff said a temporary pit area had been agreed upon so the county could continue to provide services while certain pits were closed. The board approved a change-order authorization to allow signature on the county’s behalf for temporary pit related work.
Meeting discussion included cost figures cited by staff: a referenced project figure of $102,215 for bulk vehicle work and another stated ceiling of $102,050.05 described as “not to exceed” for temporary work related to the Beaver Tail roof‑replacement project. Another remark referenced a $64,000 saving on a separate item. The board approved the motion and recorded aye votes.
Why it matters: The authorizations are intended to avoid service interruptions while contracted replacement work proceeds and to allow the road department to manage temporary operations and recycle/tire handling during closures.
Ending: The board approved the change‑order authority and moved on to subsequent agenda items.
