Lancaster County OKs wetland-delineation services and a $159,171 sole-source asphalt treatment purchase
Summary
The Board approved an on-call wetland delineation agreement not to exceed $35,000 and a sole-source purchase order to Gee Asphalt for GSB treatment totaling $159,171; county engineer said delineation is required when a project disturbs more than one‑tenth of an acre and attributed reduced maintenance costs to the treatment.
Lancaster County commissioners approved two infrastructure-related agreements at their April 28 meeting.
The board approved an agreement with EA Engineering, Science, and Technology Inc for on-call wetland delineation, permitting and related services at a cost not to exceed $35,000; County Engineer Pam Dingman said delineation identifies regulated wetland areas when a project disturbs more than one-tenth of an acre in order to meet federal permitting requirements. The board also approved a sole-source purchase order to Gee Asphalt for subdivision GSB treatment in the amount of $159,171. Dingman described the GSB treatment as a preservation method to extend the life of existing asphalt surfaces and said the county’s annual asphalt maintenance expenditures have declined from about $8 million five years ago to about $3 million currently, in part because of use of the treatment.
Commissioner Matt Schulte moved and Commissioner Sean Flowerday seconded both motions; each passed 3-0 with Commissioners Yoakum and Johnson absent.
The actions authorize on-call delineation services to support engineering projects and a specific pavement-preservation purchase intended to reduce longer-term maintenance costs.
