Material choices emerge as contractors bid double chipseal on Bass Lake Road
Summary
Fahrner and Scott submitted competing double-chipseal bids for Bass Lake Road; Scott said it used river rock on the bottom layer per spec while Fahrner said it uses trap rock on both layers.
The board opened double chipseal bids for Bass Lake Road and a short Shell Creek tie-in. Fahrner’s bid for Bass Lake Rd (Hwy 77 to Brancel) was $36,495; Scott bid $30,604 for the same stretch. Short Shell Creek tie-in bids were $942 (Fahrner) and $900 (Scott).
Board discussion noted different aggregate choices by the firms. According to the record, "Scott used River Rock on the bottom layer because of the spec, they do not have granite in the size required, and granite on the top layer. Fahrner uses trap rock on both layers." The board entered the bids into the procurement record for later evaluation of cost, material performance and availability.
