PUBLIC WORKS 03-13-08
The Board considered the approval of a cost overrun for Project No. 2007-12 Silica Fume Overlays for Bridge Nos. 16.00N-02.11E & .00N-13.30E. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works stated the surfaces for both bridges have been milled and the areas for patching have been marked. Bridge No. 11.00N-13.30E will require a significantly larger amount of patching than first anticipated (32 square yards to 204 square yards). The original bid price was $85,123. The adjusted cost estimate due to the increase in patching is estimated at $126,965.

Jones asked whether replacing the entire deck might be better than patching two-thirds of the deck. Browning stated the cost would be significantly more to replace the entire deck. The 204 square yard patch is a sound, cost-effective fix and should last for many years. Without the repairs, he d s not anticipate the bridge lasting another five years.

Jones moved to authorize the Public Works Director to approve change orders up to a total contract cost of $140,000 for Project No. 2007-12, Silica Fume Overlays for Bridge Nos. 16.00-02.11E and 11.00N-13.30E. Motion was seconded by McElhaney and carried unanimously.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE 03-13-08
Johnson moved approval of accounts payable in the amount of $114,050.97 to be paid on 03/03/08. Motion was seconded by Jones and carried unanimously.
