County reviews proposed $8,000 general-services agreement for materials testing

Summary
Montezuma County discussed a proposed general-services agreement to streamline small materials and density testing for road projects, with a not-to-exceed figure of $8,000 over two years and unit weights estimated at about $170 per test; no contract was executed at the workshop.
A county contractor described a proposed general-services agreement (GSA) on Monday intended to make small materials and density testing simpler and avoid repeated paperwork for minor jobs.
"What I got in front of you is a general service agreement," said Ty, presenting the proposal and explaining it could be used for density and classification tests needed to comply with certain contracts. Ty said the county could cap work under the agreement at $8,000 over two years: "we proposed $8,000 to your term, so we would not exceed that amount." He estimated unit-weight tests at about $170 per test.
Commissioners clarified the scope would focus on hard-surface roads (chip seal and asphalt) rather than gravel roads and noted most density testing is completed locally or at a nearby lab (Monticello). Ty said the proposed amount could be reduced if the commission prefers. The board discussed compliance with existing contracts and how the GSA could provide flexibility for small, miscellaneous testing needs.
No vote was taken on the GSA during the workshop; commissioners asked clarifying questions and left the proposal to be finalized with exact dollar figures and compliance details before any contract action.
