Speakers discuss $3.22 per-ton estimate, fencing and hauling logistics
Summary
Participants identified as Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 discussed a $3.22 per-ton estimate for demolition and fencing, compared it to a $3.50 bathroom estimate, and weighed trucking costs and a possible pit donation offered at $1 per ton; materials will be sent to Echols for follow-up.
Participants identified only as Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 discussed a per-ton estimate of $3.22 for demolition and related work and debated whether that figure covered fencing and other line items.
Speaker 2 introduced the figure directly, saying, "$3.22." Speaker 2 then asked whether the amount covered demolition and related items and stated, "we're gonna send it off to Echols this week," signaling that the estimate and supporting information would be forwarded for further review.
Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 compared the $3.22 figure to other line-item expectations. Speaker 2 said, "Heck, we thought we could do the bathrooms for $3.50," while Speaker 1 emphasized that the larger number included "fencing, everything" and referenced concrete and other site work.
Both speakers identified trucking as the likely largest cost component. Speaker 1 noted the difficulty of hauling material "clear across the county" and urged checking local pits and donors. The conversation named one local contact, "Terry Brotherson," with Speaker 1 saying Brotherson had material and Speaker 2 stating Brotherson was "trying to get rid of them for a dollar a ton." Speaker 1 also referenced Mount Pleasant as a longer hauling distance.
The exchange included operational questions about county involvement and equipment: Speaker 1 asked who the county contact was for the road and whether county trucks could be used, and the speakers discussed assembling trucks and coordinating use of a pit if donors in the county contributed material.
No formal motion or vote was recorded in the provided transcript. The most concrete next step recorded was the referral: "we're gonna send it off to Echols this week," attributed to Speaker 2. Further decisions on whether to accept donated material, authorization of county trucks, or final budgeting were left unresolved in the excerpt.
The discussion surfaced three specific numeric details: the $3.22 per-ton estimate, a $3.50 bathroom estimate, and a possible donation price of $1 per ton for pit material. Those figures were presented in the informal exchange and were not tied to a formal motion, contract, or published bid within the excerpt.
The record here is limited to the short exchange between two speakers and does not identify elected officials, staff titles, or formal roles; all attributions use the speaker labels that appear in the transcript.
