Commissioners authorize additional $145,000 for landfill scraper rebuild
Summary
The landfill manager said a rebuild found unexpected damage, including a bent crankshaft, and sought roughly $145,000 in added funding; the board approved the increase and noted schedule delays.
Dylan Evans, landfill manager, told the commission that work on a previously approved scraper rebuild uncovered more structural damage than anticipated, including a bent crankshaft and additional line-boring needs. He requested amending the rebuild quote to add about $145,000 to the project and said Caterpillar offered an additional 8% discount on parts after negotiation.
Commissioners approved the additional funding. Staff said a longer state review had delayed the project and that some remediation would be held back to manage costs and scheduling.
