Board awards contracts for landfill excavator and parking‑lot repairs
Summary
The board approved purchase of a used excavator for the landfill and a $64,009.70 contract to repair cracks and resurface the East Side and Sports Complex parking lots; staff said the excavator trade‑in reduced the net price and the parking work will be completed before June 30.
Dinwiddie’s general services staff asked the board May 19 to approve two equipment and maintenance contracts: a used excavator to replace an aging 2012 machine at the landfill, and parking‑lot crack repairs and resurfacing at the East Side and Sports Complex.
Staff described the excavator as a Cat 307.5 (trade figures discussed during the presentation) and said the trade‑in would reduce the net price to about $30,000. On parking lots, staff said bids were solicited and the lowest responsive bidder, Virginia Surface Pros, offered $64,009.70 to complete crack repair and resurfacing for both the East Side and Sports Complex lots; staff asked for authorization to complete the work before June 30 to avoid further deterioration. The board approved both contract awards by roll call.
General services staff said the excavator is a primary piece of equipment used at the landfill and that replacing an older open‑cab 2012 machine would improve operator safety and efficiency. The parking‑lot work was described as overdue maintenance; staff told the board the typical resurfacing cycle is five to seven years and both lots are beyond that window.
