CONTRACTS & PUBLIC WORKS 02-11-02
The Board discussed bids received for asphaltic concrete (BM-2) to be used in pavement patching and machine-laid leveling for the summer maintenance program. Since asphalt plants may break down, or for some other reason, materials may not be available from a particular supplier at a particular time, it is recommended that the County contract with a "primary" supplier and also with a "secondary" supplier. Jones made a motion to contract with LRM Industries for the supply of 5,001-8,000 tons of BM-2 mix @ $21.15/ton and Asphalt Sales for the supply of 1,000-5,000 tons of BM-2 mix @ $25.00/ton. Motion was seconded by Johnson and carried unanimously.
AGREEMENTS AND SEWER DISTRICTS 02-11-02
The Board considered approval of a Cooperation Agreement with the City of Lawrence for construction of sanitary sewer facilities in Baldwin Creek No. 2 (County) Benefit District and Westwood Hills (City) Benefit District. This Cooperation Agreement is for a joint project to design and construct sanitary sewer facilities to serve both benefit districts. Under the agreement, each party will be responsible for all costs associated with improvements to its respective benefit district. Costs for gravity lines are apportioned to each respective district where the lines are situated. Costs for the pump station and force mains are apportioned to each district according to calculated sewage rates for each district. Baldwin Creek #2 will be responsible for 24.88% of the pump station, force mains and related costs. The City of Lawrence will administer the project, and will invoice Douglas County periodically for the County's share of engineering and construction costs. Johnson made a motion to authorize the Chair to execute the Cooperation Agreement. Jones seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE 02-11-02
Jones made a motion to approve accounts payable manual checks in the amount of $2,127.05; payroll in the amount of $550,390.57; electronic funds transfers for FICA for $41,039.75, and KPERS in the amount of $33,247.91 to be paid 2/8/02. Motion was seconded by Johnson and carried unanimously.
