Public Works recommends three‑year rental contract for pavement milling machine costing $307,906
Summary
Thurston County Public Works recommended awarding a three‑year rental contract for a pavement milling machine totaling $307,906, to be used seasonally to maintain more than 1,000 miles of county roads.
Thurston County Public Works presented a recommendation to award a contract to rent a pavement milling machine for a total cost of $307,906, over a three‑year term. Staff said the county will rent the machine each year for two separate two‑month periods (spring and fall) to support maintenance on more than 1,000 miles of county roadways.
County engineers told commissioners the equipment is essential for pavement maintenance and that renting is the current procurement strategy. Commissioners asked for clarification about the three‑year term and how annual costs break down; staff said language specifying a three‑year term will be added to the motion on the business agenda so the board understands the duration and annual payment structure before formal approval.
Public Works planned to include the three‑year term language in the afternoon motion to the board.
