Public works: recycled rock out until summer; Village considers using existing stock
Summary
Foreman Wolfe told trustees the CCI "re-grind" recycled concrete used for the yard-waste road is out of stock until summer; he estimated needing at least 50 tons and said re-grind had been $15/ton while regular rock is about $22/ton.
Foreman Wolfe reported that the Village's preferred recycled concrete "re-grind" from CCI is not available until summer because the vendor must bring in equipment to grind material. Wolfe said, "It's the old concrete that they grind up, it is fifteen dollars a ton." He added that regular rock is roughly $22 per ton and that the Village has some rock in stock that could be used until the vendor restarts production.
Wolfe estimated needing at least 50 tons and suggested appropriating motor fuel funds after the first of the year to pay for additional material; trustees noted a likely $2/ton price increase after the new year. The committee did not take a formal vote but agreed on a plan to use existing supplies for now and revisit purchases when the re-grind becomes available.
No formal appropriation or contract award was recorded at this committee meeting.
