Roads department asks for Conex containers to protect seed, equipment
Summary
Roads staff (Mr. Demersley) requested approval to buy high‑cube Conex storage containers to protect hydroseeding materials and equipment from pests and weather; he said the county spent over $100,000 on grassing material since July 2023 and described container specs and placement.
Mr. Demersley told commissioners the roads department needs covered storage for hydroseeding and grassing materials to protect a substantial investment and reduce pest problems that have increased pest‑control costs. He said the department spent more than $100,000 on grassing material since July 1, 2023.
He described the requested Conex containers as one‑trip, high‑cube units with airtight seals and four sets of double side doors to allow forklift access to pallets of various seed types. Demersley said the containers would be placed near the sign shop on county property and that funding would come from the vehicles and equipment account (Splas 5). Commissioners asked about siting and confirmed funding source; the board expressed appreciation for the explanation.
No formal procurement action was recorded in the provided transcript segments.
