Participants discuss trucking costs, donated millings and demolition estimates
Summary
In a recorded discussion, two participants reviewed estimates for demolition, fencing and bathroom work, considered using donated millings from a pit at roughly $1 per ton, and identified trucking as the largest remaining cost; they planned to "send it off to Echols this week."
Speaker 2 said during a recorded discussion that demolition and related site work were being priced at roughly $3.22 per unit and that earlier estimates for bathroom work had been about $3.50. "No. $3.22. Is that the demolition? Heck, we thought we could do the bathrooms for $3.50," Speaker 2 said.
Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 discussed scope items including fencing and concrete. Speaker 1 said, "If it's controlled, that's what you're gonna control. That's the key." Speaker 2 and Speaker 1 also discussed sending materials or estimates to a person identified in the conversation as Echols: "we're gonna send it off to Echols this week," Speaker 2 said.
Participants raised trucking and haul distance as the major cost. Speaker 2 said the expense of getting material "clear across the county" would make trucking the biggest cost of the job. Speaker 1 said some pits could donate material and referenced a person named Terry Brotherson as someone who "got a lot up in that place" and would be willing to move material. Speaker 1 said, "They can donate pit, but I know everybody. I know Terry Brothers, and he's trying to get rid of them for a dollar." Speaker 2 noted that donated material would still require trucks and distance would matter: "But that's clear from Mount Pleasant. Right? Miles. Yeah. You have to all your truck in there."
The conversation referenced specific cost figures and practical constraints without recording any formal decision or vote. Participants discussed options to reduce costs by accepting donated millings or material from pits, but they emphasized that hauling distance and trucking availability would influence whether donation materially lowered total cost. One participant said the group planned to forward the matter to Echols for further action or review.
No formal motions, votes or decisions were recorded in the transcript segment provided.
