Commission takes salt‑waste/soil hauling RFP under advisement pending budget carryover
Summary
Staff presented bids for a salt‑waste and topsoil hauling project at an old landfill; commissioners took the procurement under advisement pending a budget amendment to carry over funds from last year and asked staff to verify soil quality and inspection procedures.
The county took under advisement bids for hauling and supplying material for an 18‑inch regrading project at the former Ken Whitefield site, with staff saying the work will require roughly 60,000 cubic yards of material.
Staff said three responses were received. Commissioners and staff discussed the need to confirm material definitions (red dirt versus topsoil), inspect source material to avoid unusable chert and other contaminants, and establish inspection procedures with vendors. Staff said the work had been approved in last year’s budget but the funds were not transferred; the item will return to purchasing after the county appropriates the carryover funds from the solid waste fund.
The committee voted to take the recommendation under advisement and to return with a recommendation after the budget amendment and appropriate inspections are in place.
Next steps: staff will confirm the budget carryover, coordinate site inspections with vendors, and return recommendations to purchasing once appropriation is complete.
