PUBLIC WORKS & CONTRACTS 03-31-04
The Board discussed bids received for chip sealing of county roads. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works/County Engineer, explained that the contract quantities assume forty (40) miles of roads will be chip sealed. Contract provisions allow the road mileage actually sealed to vary by +/-25%. The actual road sections to be sealed will be determined this spring after a detailed inspection of pavement conditions. Bids were obtained for utilizing lightweight aggregate (CM-L) for the base bid and for utilizing limestone chips (CM-K) as an alternate bid. Hi-Plains Sand submitted the low base bid of $387,200 and the low alternate bid of $307,868.50. Hi-Plains Sand was awarded the contract in 2001 and the contract was renewed for 2002 and 2003. Browning recommended that the low base bid be accepted from Hi-Plains Sand, Inc. The Road & Bridge Fund 201 has $460,000 allocated for contract sealing and the contract is renewable for up to two (2) additional years. Johnson made a motion to accept the low base bid from Hi-Plains Sand, Inc. in the amount of $387,200 to seal approximately forty (40) miles of county roads in 2004, and authorize the Director of Public Works to approve change orders totaling up to 5% of the contract amount. Jones seconded and the motion carried.

McElhaney joined the meeting at 6:56 P.M.
