Daniels County approves road equipment purchases and Peerless-Luster pulverizing job
Summary
The commission approved purchase of a walk/roll packer and an associated packer-accumulator and voted to accept a $13,612 quote to pulverize the paved segment of Peerless-Luster Road; staff said the work will reduce future patching and may reuse millings.
Daniels County commissioners approved two road-related capital actions on April 20: the purchase of a walk-and-roll packer (plus an add-on hitch) to speed compaction and shoulder work, and a $13,612 Century quote to pulverize the paved section of Peerless-Luster Road.
Road staff explained the packer will broaden the county—s filling capacity and reduce labor for wheel-packing narrow sections; the commissioners moved, seconded and approved the purchase after confirming the local signature and budget routing. On Peerless-Luster Road, staff said the milling will remove thin asphalt and reduce future sealing and patching; the contractor will watch for old field rock under the pavement and adjust milling depth if needed. The board approved that work by voice vote.
The commissioners also approved routine vouchers and journal entries during the meeting, and staff reported four new audit findings that include Intercap loan accounting and single-audit timing issues; staff committed to a second-party review of levy and budget worksheets to correct discrepancies.
What happens next: county staff will finalize purchase paperwork and coordinate the Peerless-Luster milling with the contractor; public works will monitor the milled material for reuse elsewhere in the county road system.
