Roads and bridge superintendent outlines truck repairs, cattle guard plan; commissioners publish gravel bid
Summary
Road and Bridge Superintendent Paul reported on equipment repairs and extending a water truck frame; commissioners agreed to install a cattle guard at the county airport using road-crew labor and approved publishing an invitation to bid for gravel material with state-inspection requirements.
Paul, the county’s road and bridge superintendent, briefed the board on fleet maintenance and a plan to extend the frame and shift the tank on a water truck that is currently out of service. He told commissioners the truck’s tank is contacting the cab because of the air-ride suspension and staff plan to extend the frame and move the tank to get the truck back in service as soon as possible.
Commissioners discussed installation of a cattle guard at the airport gate. Paul said the road crew has cut timbers and can install the guard; commissioners agreed the county would perform the installation and then seek reimbursement from the airport board (costs discussed around $5,000–$6,000 in the meeting). Staff said the airport board would be informed prior to their next meeting.
On procurement, staff presented an invitation-to-bid for gravel and commissioners agreed the specification should require a state inspection or other certification to verify material quality. A motion to publish the gravel invitation to bid with that standard was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
No commissioner cast recorded individual roll-call votes in the transcript; motions passed by voice vote and were recorded as “All in favor.”
