Crawford County okays Vasquez Construction estimate for courthouse snow removal
Summary
The board approved an agreement with Vasquez Construction for courthouse snow removal under the firm’s estimate (hourly labor at $160/hour plus materials and minimums). Motion carried by voice vote; board stressed contractor availability and quick response.
The Crawford County Board approved an agreement with Vasquez Construction to provide snow-removal services for county buildings, acting on an estimate that prices labor at $160 an hour and lists separate charges for salt and equipment.
Jean moved to accept the estimate and Ty seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote; no roll-call tally is recorded in the transcript. Members discussed the change from last year’s flat-fee structure to hourly labor-based billing and questioned contractor availability during heavy storms.
Board members and staff clarified the contract scope: sidewalks and building entrances (jail steps, courthouse entrances and adjacent parking areas) will receive priority; city streets and parallel parking areas remain the city’s responsibility. The estimate includes minimums for heavy and light equipment and separate salt/material charges.
Supervisors said the county will communicate with Vasquez Construction about response expectations and track invoicing by event. The contract is an estimate-based engagement to ensure rapid service during winter storms.
