He is adjusting the amounts and requesting to change the Camp Augustine <br /> maintenance yard to Old Potash Highway east of Alda Road and spread some of the gravel. <br /> He is asking for pit prices plus on-call prices for road gravel applied to county roads by each <br /> township in Hall County. He noted the following. <br /> Stockpile A <br /> Hall County Maintenance yard 2,800 tons <br /> Stockpile B <br /> Old Potash Highway east of Alda Road 3,800 tons <br /> Stockpile C <br /> Wood River Maintenance Yard 8,300 tons <br /> Stockpile D <br /> Cairo maintenance Yard 6,100 tons <br /> Stockpile E <br /> Alda maintenance Yard 4,200 tons <br /> Pit gravel hauled by County 4,100 tons <br /> Gravel hauled and spread by contractor 3,900 tons <br /> TOTAL 33,700 ton <br /> Bredthauer ask how many tons are in a truck, there are 14 to 5 tons or a little over 10 cubic <br /> yards. She also ask about the size of some of the gravel stockpiles and that could be a safety <br /> issue. She also ask about the grade of the gravel and Steve stated that it is in the <br /> specifications. <br /> Steve stated that they also used to go out and stake for the gravel but with the consistent truck <br /> speed they do not do that now so it saves time and now they also haul a full 10 tons instead of 8 <br /> tons. <br /> Richardson made a motion and Quandt seconded to set the bid opening for the gravel for <br /> December 17, 2019 at 9:30 a.m. with bids due December 16, 20119 at 5:00 p.m. <br /> Josh Vollmer with Mid Nebraska stated he discussed this with Mr. Riehle and the gravel stock <br /> piles are good winter work for them, they are seasonal. There will be some scheduling issues to <br /> haul the gravel direct but it makes sense especially getting rid of Camp Augustine they can go <br /> directly to the pit. <br /> Quandt ask if the graders follow the truck to spread the gravel and Steve stated they do not <br /> have to because they use tailgate spreaders. <br /> Lancaster stated she appreciates the discussion. <br /> 5 <br />
