County approves $32,057 purchase of tank car and steel plate to make culverts
Summary
Lyon County Commissioners approved a $32,057 purchase from The Railroad Yard for a 10' x 48.7' tank car and steel plate that will be cut to create three to four culverts, to be paid from the Special Bridge Fund (033-00-8350).
Lyon County Engineer Wayne Scritchfield presented a quote from The Railroad Yard for a steel plate and a 10' x 48.7' tank car priced at $32,057.00. Commissioners voted 3-0 (Peck/Bartel) to approve the purchase; Scritchfield said the tank car would be cut down to make between three and four culverts and that availability of similar tank cars is limited.
The commission directed the purchase to be paid from the Special Bridge Fund, fund 033-00-8350 (Structural Steel). A staff note in the minutes states the tank car “will be cut down to make between 3 and 4 culverts.” No additional procurement conditions or contractor timelines were recorded in the minutes.
