Board awards annual magnesium chloride contract to EnviroTech for county MAG program
Summary
Elko County approved the MAG chloride treatment contract (annual MAG program) after County Road Superintendent Dennis Price described the scope; commissioners voted to award the contract to EnviroTech amid questions about mileage coverage and cost per mile.
The Elko County Board of Commissioners voted to award the county’s annual magnesium chloride (MAG) contract to EnviroTech Services for the program that treats gravel roads across the county. County Road Superintendent Dennis Price described the MAG work as "our annual, part of our annual MAG program," and said the contract covers nearly 150 miles of gravel roads and takes roughly two to three months to apply.
Commissioners asked follow-up questions about coverage and unit costs; one commissioner estimated roughly $2,000 per mile in the discussion. The Board carried the motion by voice vote. A public commenter highlighted local road-surface deterioration, urging consideration of resurfacing rather than repeated MAG applications.
