Sublette County to advertise sealed bids for chip‑seal project; S Piney bridge closeout approved
Summary
Road and Bridge staff presented a chip‑seal proposal and a bridge closeout. The board approved moving forward with a sealed bid process and accepted a $5,939.25 under‑budget change order to close out the S Piney CR 23‑151 bridge project.
Billy Pape, Sublette County Road and Bridge superintendent, updated the commissioners on planned roadwork and presented a proposed countywide chip‑seal project alongside Aaron Seehafer and Eric Sacket of Rio Verde Engineering. The board voted unanimously to proceed with the project as presented and to advertise a sealed bid process.
Eric Sacket presented a change and closeout order for the S Piney CR 23‑151 bridge. Commissioner Bradley moved to approve the change order for $5,939.25, noting it came in under budget; the motion was seconded by Commissioner White and carried 5‑0. During discussion, a private landowner (Brian Espenscheid) asked whether the county would purchase gravel from his property; the board asked Road and Bridge to investigate viability, with Pape estimating about $7,000 to drill test holes to assess material quality.
The board also directed staff to draft a fuel contract renewal after a briefing from Ryan McGuire on current fuel pricing. No fiscal award was made at the meeting; the commissioners approved moving forward with contract drafting and review by the county attorney.
