Commission waives landfill fees for spring cleanup, awards landfill and road material contracts
Loading...
Summary
The commission approved a fee waiver for residential landfill drop-off the week of April 25–May 2, including a 12-tire-per-day limit, and awarded several IFBs: a $49,000 trash-vacuum attachment, $100,950 for crushed rock, a $1,349,500 gilsonite-modified sealer contract and a contingent award for hot-mix asphalt.
The Uintah County Commission on March 31 approved a spring cleanup landfill fee waiver and multiple procurement awards to support landfill and road maintenance work.
Greg Jensen of the county landfill presented resolution O3312026R2 to waive residential landfill fees from April 25 through May 2. Jensen said the waiver will include tires this year with a limit of 12 tires per day, but it will not include refrigerators or commercial loads. The commission approved the waiver by voice vote.
Purchasing presented a set of invitation-for-bid recommendations. Trina Gardner said Innovative Equipment Solutions submitted the only responsive bid for a Bobcat-compatible trash vacuum attachment; the bid met specifications and the commission awarded the IFB for $49,000. The commission also approved an award to Burdick Materials for up to 3,000 tons of 1/2-inch crushed rock on a unit-price basis at an estimated award amount of $100,950.
For pavement maintenance, purchasing recommended Asphalt Systems Incorporated for up to 200,000 gallons of a gilsonite-modified emulsion-based rejuvenator sealer; two bids were received but one was found nonresponsive and Asphalt Systems’ bid of $1,349,500 was accepted. For hot-mix asphalt supply (up to 4,000 tons, April 1–Oct. 1), purchasing reported a single responsive bid from Burdick Paving and explained that, because of variable oil pricing, the contract will include a monthly vendor cost-adjustment request process; the commission approved the award contingent on final cost-adjustment language with legal review.
Commissioners voiced general support for the procurement recommendations. Where unit-price contracts were approved, staff emphasized the final cost will depend on actual quantities used and that vendors may request cost adjustments under the approved process.
With those matters resolved, the commission closed procurement business and moved on to the final agenda items.
