it had been fixed. He mentioned that if J.I.L. bids on fall project that paver that was previously <br /> used he will make sure they don't use until some adjustments have been made; he said he may <br /> still pull the trigger on formal smoothness test, without cost to the County. <br /> Quandt asked the question If they bid the fall work are we going to make sure the 1st and 2nd are <br /> done? <br /> Steve- replied that they hired a grinding company out of Iowa to grind wood river road company <br /> has it on schedule for august, Cairo should be done in a week and a half, he said but if a broken <br /> wire wasn't found or a new computer wasn't bought or a new paver wasn't bought or they <br /> haven't done something different to fix paver he considered it black listed from doing County <br /> Hwy work. <br /> Lancaster stated that in all fairness if we need to bid a project we need to bid a project and <br /> because of their own situation if they are not available then they aren't available it is what it is, <br /> we need to keep moving on our projects if they are willing and capable and are able to do them. <br /> Quandt stated if we are paying for a new road we need to get a new road not an obstacle <br /> course.

He stated it has <br /> been his experience they charge us same price as City charges when City goes out for bids and <br /> to him he feels they should piggy back off them formally or informally and require we get the <br /> same price for them. He stated he noticed this claim while signing it that it was over the <br /> $5,000.00, what he said he would propose to do is try and set in the system we go out for bids <br /> like the City does in February and they go out for ten different types of asphalts and then what <br /> ever asphalt they are running it's a bid price. He stated he missed it and it should have went out <br /> for bids. <br /> Lancaster stated the purchasing rules need to be followed. <br /> Peterson made a motion to approve payment in the amount of$18,603.04 to J.I.L. for asphaltic <br /> concrete for road patching Hurst seconded the motion.
