They have 2 units one is a <br /> 2002 from a state bid. The state bid price is under $9,400.00. Discussion was held if they <br /> share with another county. <br /> Hartman ask Mr. Riehle to check with other counties to see if they could share the equipment. <br /> Steve stated that Merrick County does not seal their roads and they ask Hall County to do a <br /> section of Gunbarrel Road. Howard County dos not have asphalt roads and <br /> Buffalo County does not seal their roads. He can check with Adams County to see if they do <br /> any sealing and they share equipment with Adams County. <br /> Bredthauer noted they have one unit from the state bid. Steve stated they did have 3 but now <br /> one died. If they last 15 years it is about $600.00 a year. The 2002 crack router is older and may <br /> need repair and needs to be replaced. They have funds in the budget to purchase this unit. <br /> When they are working on this project he likes to have 2 units running at the same when the <br /> weather is good. He would like to use the state bid contract#14429OC to purchase the crack <br /> sealer. <br /> Richardson made a motion and Peterson seconded to approve the purchase of the crack router <br /> from Logan Contractor's Supply from the state bid. <br /> Lancaster ask if there was any objection to check on the age of the equipment and she ask how <br /> much it is used.
