Engineer cites $215/ton dust-control bid and asks for expanded BLM parking application
Summary
County Engineer Ken Muller reported a bid from Envirotech for liquid dust control at $215 per ton—placing material costs near $390,000—and the Board instructed Public Works to apply to the BLM for a larger Option B parking area to ease congestion on nearby State Lands parking.
Ken Muller, Sheridan County Engineer, briefed commissioners on bids for liquid dust control and options to expand parking at a BLM stock rest property. Muller said Envirotech submitted the current bid at $215 per ton and that material cost increases push total estimates to about $390,000 for the project.
Muller also outlined two parking options to reduce congestion on the State Lands parking area caused by snowmobilers and other users of the Red Grade Trails. The Board instructed Public Works to prepare an application to the Bureau of Land Management for the larger Option B parking area to provide additional capacity. No formal vote was recorded in the minutes; the instruction was entered as Board direction for staff follow-up.
