HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_0702the board has seen a proposed budget for the use of these funds.
Mooresville Graded School District proposes to use this $20,476 for
the Park View School Basement project. These funds were requested
by Dr. Jane Carrigan's letter to Mr. Mashburn dated October 1994.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the expending of
this $20,476 for the Park View School basement project as
requested.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
COMMUNICATIONS - RADIO CONSOLE BIDS: These bids were
presented by Larry Dickerson. The following bids were received:
Communications Engineering & Parts $141,280.00
Avtec, Inc. 173,083.00
The low bid exceeds the budgeted amount of $128,000. It was
pointed out that the General Statutes permit negotiating with the
low bid. There were reductions in the number of dispatch positions
on the console design from four to three, elimination of heads
sets, and a few non-critical spare parts, thereby reducing the bid
to $127,987.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the negotiated low
bid in the amount of $127,987 as explained by Mr. Dickerson.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
LANDFILL - POWER SWEEPER BIDS= Mr. Ron Weatherman, Solid
Waste Supervisor, discussed these bids with the board. Two bids
were received, which are:
Carolina Industrial Equipment (Power Boss) $20,781.00
Tennant, Inc. (Tennant Brand) $21,578.71
Mr. Weatherman said they spent quite a bit of time looking at
the two machines when they were demonstrated. Mr. Weatherman
recommended the highest bid by the Tennant company. Two vitally
important things to Mr. Weatherman are (1) the brush mechanism, and
(2) the Tennant machine dumps from the front which Mr. Weatherman
prefers over the Carolina Industrial Equipment.
Mr. Weatherman says they will be sweeping with this machine
twice daily. They are now using staff with brooms and wheelbarrows
for sweeping.
MOTION from Commissioner Hamby to approve the power sweeper
from Tennant, Inc. at $21,578.71.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
FINANCIAL ASSURANCE FOR SUBTITLE D LANDFILL: Mrs. Susan
Blumenstein presented this information to the board. Mrs.
Blumenstein filed the original letter in March 1994 and it expired
July 1, 1994. She has until the end of October to present a
second letter. The current total estimated cost of closure, post
closure and corrective action cost estimates is $1,628,520. This
financial assurance computes certain ratios to show the county is
financially sound. No board approval is needed at this time, but
Mrs. Blumenstein wanted to make the board aware that this is being
filed. There is $2.60 per ton of solid waste being set aside for
this closure. This is so the county will not have to come up with
this sum of money for the closing all at once.
NO BOARD ACTION.
