County weighs dust-control bids after pricing differences prompt work session
Summary
Two dust-control bids came in with different price schedules: Brisbane Trucking quoted $1.30/ft (county-run) and $1.40/ft (company-run); Scottwood quoted $1.24/ft (county-run) and $1.29/ft (company-run). Commissioners requested sample checks and scheduled a work session to compare bids before deciding.
Commissioners reviewed two dust-control bids and agreed not to award without a closer technical comparison and a work session.
Staff presented Brisbane Trucking’s bid at $1.30 per foot for county-run work and $1.40 per foot for company-run work. Scottwood’s bid was $1.24 per foot for county-run and $1.29 per foot for company-run. Commissioners raised concerns that previous bidding rounds did not compare "apples to apples" and requested product samples and locations to inspect before making a final decision.
Steve Brisbane, representing Brisbane Trucking, confirmed his firm’s first year on the bid list and described experience winning a nearby county contract. Commissioners discussed pros and cons of company-run versus county-run approaches, including schedule reliability and invoicing, and agreed to a 9:30 a.m. work session the following Tuesday to review sample locations and pricing comparisons.
The county also noted Highway 7 detours and anticipated reimbursements from KDOT for specific haul-road work, which could affect local priorities for dust-control coverage.
