Public Works outlines Laramie Bridge grading plan; considers pickup trade-in and warranty comparisons
Summary
Public Works staff briefed the commission on grading contractor evaluations for the Laramie Bridge and presented pickup replacement options including a $26,500 trade‑in offer for a Chevy Colorado; commissioners asked staff to compare warranties before purchase.
Chris Smith and Joe Mullen of Public Works met with commissioners to review grading company evaluations for the Laramie Bridge project and discuss fleet needs. Smith told the board they could "get a trade in for $26,500 for the Chevy Colorado" and the commission asked staff to compare warranty options on replacement pickups before authorizing a purchase.
The commission also discussed recycling payments and indicated they would like to pay recycling boards $46.00 per ton, matching Saline County's payment to the landfill. The public-works exchanges were informational and generated direction for staff to return with warranty comparisons and final recommendations rather than immediate purchases.
