Public works: landfill survey, burial permit approved and Coastal Energy oil bid accepted for chip-and-seal work
Summary
Public works staff reported a pending landfill survey to determine remaining capacity and the board approved a road-bore (burial) permit and accepted Coastal Energy's chip-and-seal oil bid at $2.24/gallon; a landfill fee-waiver request was tabled for two weeks.
Jesse Walton, public works director, said a surveyor (Terracon) is scheduled to assess landfill benchmarks and capacity after staff received drawings but needed on-site benchmark verification. Walton recommended waiting for the survey results before approving a requested dump-fee assistance request; the commission agreed to table the request for two weeks.
Walton presented a road‑bore permit (BP2025‑one) for a water crossing at 3726 Reid Road. A commissioner moved and the board approved the permit; the motion passed with the customary voice vote of "All in favor, say aye." The transcript did not record an explicit roll-call tally.
The board opened fuel bids and received one bid from MFA Oil Company; commissioners then considered oil bids for the chip‑and‑seal paving season. Todd Moller, Asphalt Division, told commissioners three suppliers returned bids and recommended Coastal Energy Corporation, which offered CRS‑2P at $2.24 per gallon. Moller estimated that the county would run about 60,000 gallons for the normal planned mileage and that the Coastal bid offered the lowest per‑gallon price and produced noticeable per‑mile savings. Commissioner moved to accept the Coastal Energy bid at $2.24 per gallon for chip‑and‑seal oil, and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Walton also reported seasonal road work: parts arriving for the landfill track loader, culvert replacements, boom mowing and bridge repair at Farland Road north of 2400 following recent rains. He said crews would patch a Bowman bridge washout and address undermined culverts.
The commission took three formal actions on public-works matters at the meeting: (1) tabled the dump-fee assistance request pending a landfill survey; (2) approved road-bore permit BP2025‑one for a water crossing at 3726 Reid Road; and (3) accepted the Coastal Energy oil bid for chip‑and‑seal work at $2.24 per gallon. No specific dollar amount for the dump‑fee assistance was approved.
