Public works secures used concrete blocks, saving about $4,000

Public Works Director David Bowne recommended buying used concrete blocks for bridge and low‑water crossing repairs, saying they cost roughly 40% less and would save the county about $4,000; commissioners approved the purchase up to $9,000.
Public Works Director David Bowne told commissioners staff found used concrete blocks suitable for bridge repairs and low‑water crossings and recommended purchasing them at about a 40% discount compared with regular cost, estimating a savings of roughly $4,000.
A commissioner moved to approve the purchase not to exceed $9,000; the motion carried by voice vote. Bowne said the blocks would be used over the next three to four years in specific county infrastructure projects, and staff will integrate the purchase into repair schedules.
