Brown County reviews bids for aggregates, paving and equipment services
Loading...
Summary
County officials reviewed multiple bids for aggregates and asphalt emulsions, discussed a single paving bid from Martin Earthworks, and noted an agenda bid for dumpster services for Precinct 3; several items were read from the packet but votes or contract details were not recorded in the provided transcript.
Brown County commissioners spent a substantial portion of the meeting reviewing procurement bids for road materials, asphalt emulsions and related services, and they discussed an agenda item to approve dumpster service costs for Precinct 3.
Steven Laquay read detailed line‑item bids for aggregates and base materials, including per‑ton prices and haul rates by precinct. Items discussed included base material, oversized rock, multiple Colmix/Colmick grades (prices described in the packet at roughly $76–$78.50 per ton for certain grades) and sand. Laquay also read haul rates (precinct hauling ranged from roughly $31 to $50‑plus per ton depending on precinct and fuel charge).
Laquay summarized a paving bid from Martin Earthworks and a list of asphalt emulsion products labeled in the packet as variants of "P Squared," with plant and county delivered per‑gallon prices and minimum delivered quantities. A committee member noted that only one paving bid had been received and that the county had solicited others (including SRM) but received limited responses.
The agenda listed a service cost approval for 16‑foot dumpsters and trailer sales for 2026 "presented by David Reed, commission of precinct 3," with a bid shown at $17,410.50. The transcript records the agenda item and the packet figure but does not capture a named presentation by David Reed or a recorded vote for that item in the provided segments.
A motion to pay the county bills was made and seconded later in the meeting; the record in these segments does not include a roll call or numeric tally for that motion. Committee members discussed vendor unfamiliarity and whether to accept the available bids; no vendor contracts, award decisions with contract numbers, or final vendor selections (other than the jail HVAC action discussed elsewhere) were captured in the supplied transcript.
The commission scheduled the next meeting for the 20th (no month specified in the provided segments) and closed routine procedural items.
