[c. Discussion, consideration and action on request from John Hernandez, P.E., County Engineer, on the FY 2025 Countywide Sealcoat Program, including request for the County Auditor's office to go out for bids. ]
DISCUSSION, CONSIDERATION AND ACTION ON THE REQUEST FROM JOHN HERNANDEZ, COUNTY ENGINEER ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2025. COUNTY WIDE SEALCOAT PROGRAM, INCLUDING A REQUEST FOR THE COUNTY AUDITOR'S OFFICE TO GO OUT FOR BIDS. HERNANDEZ. OKAY. THIS IS A WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. FIRST OF ALL, IN CONSULTING WITH THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE, I KNOW I MENTIONED IN THE PAST THAT WE HAD ALL THESE KIND OF MONIES AVAILABLE, BUT WE EXHAUSTED ALL THOSE MONIES IN THE PAST YEAR. SO THIS FOR THIS UPCOMING YEAR, EACH PRECINCT NEEDS TO FUND THEIR OWN BUDGET FOR THE SEALCOAT PROGRAM. AND SO I GAVE YOU GUYS A COUPLE OF COST ESTIMATES PER MILE, WHETHER IT BE A SINGLE COURSE, DOUBLE COURSE, OR GOING THE FULL BLOWN WITH EXPOSED BASE. IF YOU GUYS WANT TO DO THE DOUBLE COURSE, INVERTED PRIME AND RESHAPING. SO I GOT A COST PER MILE FOR YOU GUYS TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SEALCOAT PROGRAM. I WILL SEND A FOLLOW UP EMAIL TO GIVE YOU MORE OR LESS A DEADLINE SO WE CAN INITIATE THE SEALCOAT FOR THIS COMING YEAR. SECONDLY, I KNOW IN THE PAST THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER WE WANT TO GO WITH MULTIPLE CONTRACTORS OR MULTIPLE CONTRACTORS PER PRECINCT. AND SO HERE'S HERE'S A COUPLE OF OPTIONS FOR YOU GUYS TO CONSIDER. I KNOW LIKE FOR COMMISSIONER PRECINCT THREE WE CAN HE CAN I CAN GENERATE A CONTRACT FOR ONE FOR HIS PARTICULAR PRECINCT. AND THEN FOR THE REMAINING PRECINCTS, HAVE ANOTHER CONTRACT SEPARATE.THE ISSUE WAS THAT THIS THAT THERE MAY BE THE POSSIBILITY THAT BOTH CONTRACTORS MAY BE AWARDED THE SAME CONTRACT AND WE'LL BE BACK IN THE SAME BOAT. BUT AT LEAST I WANT TO THROW OUT
[00:20:03]
THAT OPTION FOR YOU GUYS TO CONSIDER. AND I KNOW. CHRIS DORSEY IS ALSO LOOKING AT ANOTHER POSSIBILITY OF SOME OF THE OTHER SURROUNDING COUNTIES. THEY HAVE A SINGLE CONTRACT WITH MULTIPLE CONTRACTORS ON THERE, ALMOST LIKE AN A, B OR C OPTION ON THERE, BUT WE'RE STILL NOT SURE ON THAT IS FEASIBLE FOR THIS COUNTY OR NOT. IF I MAY ADD, IN ALL MY SEMINARS, ALL MY TRAINING, WE'RE NOT THE COUNTIES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO A, B AND C OPTIONS FOR THIS. AND SO WHAT I'VE BEEN TRAINED IS THAT WE CAN DO IT BY PRECINCT OR COUNTY WIDE. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH PRECINCT CAN HAVE THEIR OWN CONTRACTOR OR THE COUNTY CAN HAVE JUST ONE CONTRACTOR PER PER CONTRACT. OKAY. AND SO FOR YOU GUYS TO CONSIDER, YOU KNOW, I JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT OF DIRECTION THAT WE WANT TO GO. MULTIPLE CONTRACTORS, I MEAN, MULTIPLE CONTRACTS OR LIKE WE HAVE DONE YEARS BEFORE COUNTY WIDE SEALCOAT AND ONE CONTRACTOR. SO WHATEVER Y'ALL WANT TO DO, IT'S GOING TO BE UP TO Y'ALL COMMISSIONERS. AND YOU PROBABLY NEED TO GET ON IT PRETTY FAST. I THINK I THINK IF WE STAY WITH THE COUNTYWIDE, I THINK WE'LL BE OKAY. BASICALLY, THERE'S VERY FEW CONTRACTORS THAT BID ON OUR STUFF ANYWAY. SO BASICALLY THE SAME GUY WOULD PROBABLY SAME COMPANY WOULD PROBABLY BE BIDDING ON EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL FOUR. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT OR NOT, BUT SO IF I UNDERSTAND THIS CORRECTLY, THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE MULTIPLE CONTRACTORS IS IF WE DIVIDED UP BY PRECINCT AND NOT DO COUNTY WIDE. CORRECT. RIGHT.THAT'S CORRECT. COMMISSIONER. I THINK WE NEED MULTIPLE CONTRACTORS. I'VE GOT 23 ROADS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE LEFT UNDONE. IT'S THE WORKLOAD IS JUST TOO, TOO BIG. THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS, IS IF WE GET THE SAME. IF THE ONLY PERSON THAT BIDS ON IT IS THE SAME CONTRACTOR, AND IT'S A SEPARATE CONTRACT FOR EACH PRECINCT, WE'RE BACK IN THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN WITH ONE CONTRACTOR TAKING CARE OF ALL FOUR PRECINCTS, BUT I'M WILLING TO GO WITH THAT. I'M FINE WITH THAT. AT LEAST. AT LEAST THE COUNTY WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET SOMEBODY ELSE.
SOMEBODY ELSE? RIGHT? NO I AGREE. ALRIGHT. SO WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US, JOHN? SO FOR PRECINCT THREE WE WANT TO JUST GO ONE CONTRACT. I MEAN A SEPARATE CONTRACT FOR THE PRECINCT THREE. I THINK WE SHOULD GO SEPARATE CONTRACT FOR EACH OF THE FOUR PRECINCTS.
OKAY. ALRIGHT. EACH. EACH COMMISSIONER HAS THEIR OWN CONTRACT. CONTRACT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. SO WE'LL HASH OUT IF IT'S THE SAME PERSON ON SAME COMPANY ON EACH OF THE PRECINCTS OR NOT. BUT WE'LL HAVE TO WORK WITH THAT. WE MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO GET SOME OTHER PEOPLE. ALL RIGHT. SO NOT BE AS BIG A CONTRACT. SO THERE MIGHT BE SOME SMALLER PEOPLE THEY CAN FOCUS AND FOCUS ON. EXACTLY RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT SOUNDS GOOD, BUT I WANT YOU GUYS TO FOCUS ON YOUR BUDGET. AND I WILL NEED TO HAVE AN APPROXIMATE AMOUNT PER PRECINCT ON THERE. SO THESE GUYS WILL KNOW HOW MUCH TO ABSOLUTELY BID. I TRIED TO OPEN UP YOUR ATTACHMENT HERE IN MY LITTLE THINGY, MY TABLET, AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. AND THEN I HAD TROUBLE GETTING BACK TO THE MAIN AGENDA. I HAD TO GO LOG OUT AND LOG BACK IN AGAIN. ALRIGHT, I HAVE A HARD COPY FOR YOU. YOU CAN TAKE MINE. ALL RIGHT, THAT'S FINE. YES, SIR. DO WE NEED A PAPER COPY OR WE NEED TO EMAIL IT OUT TO ALL OF US SO WE CAN GO AHEAD. AND I WILL CERTAINLY FOLLOW UP WITH AN EMAIL ON THAT WITH THE SAME INFORMATION. YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. SO DO YOU NEED A MOTION FROM US RIGHT NOW? YES. GO AHEAD. I'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL CONTRACT FOR EACH OF THE PRECINCTS. SO SECOND MOTION BY GILLESPIE. I DON'T THINK IT'S ZAGORSKY SECOND FOR US FOR THE VOTE. I DON'T THINK HE SAID ANYTHING. DIDN'T YOU? IT'S YOU. OKAY. I'LL TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT, JUDGE. OKAY. I'LL GET YOU DOWN THERE THEN. EACH PRECINCT IS GOING TO HAVE THEIR OWN CONTRACT, BUT THEY'RE STILL JUST GOING TO HAVE ONE CONTRACTOR, CORRECT? WE DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T. WE WON'T KNOW. NO. YOU GET YOUR CONTRACT FOR YOUR PRECINCT. THAT MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR THAN RUBEN HAS. OKAY, BUT WHAT IF WE HAVE THE SAME ONE? YES. SAME PROBLEM WE HAVE NOW. BUT WE'LL HAVE TO GET A CHANCE ANYWAY. NOW, CHRIS AND I HAVE TALKED. THERE'S A COUNTY RIGHT NORTH OF US THAT HAVE THREE CONTRACTORS COUNTYWIDE. HOW THEY GOT BY WITH IT, I DON'T KNOW. WE CAN. EACH PRECINCT CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR. YES, BUT THEY CAN ONLY HAVE ONE CONTRACT. THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT. OKAY. THEY CAN BE DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS, BUT ONE CONTRACTOR. CORRECT, JUDGE. WELL, THAT'S FINE, BUT A DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR SIGNED EACH
[00:25:02]
OF THE PRECINCTS. YEAH. I'M SURE WITH ALL YOUR INFINITE WISDOM THAT YOU ALL OVER THERE AT THAT TABLE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK IT OUT FOR US. AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT IN ADVANCE. THANK YOU.WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR SOLUTION. CHRIS AND I PROBABLY NEED TO CALL THAT COUNTY NORTH OF US AND SEE HOW THEY'RE WORKING THEIRS OUT, AND THEY MAY BE ON THE SAME PROGRAM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. I DON'T KNOW, IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE ON A COUNTY WIDE WITH THREE CONTRACTORS. WELL, THAT COUNTY IS ALSO ON THE UNIT ROAD SYSTEM, SO THEY MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT RULES OF A LITTLE BIT FURTHER NORTH. OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. NOT THAT WE WANT TO MENTION ANY NAMES HERE. SKI. OKAY. THAT'S UNTIL I FIND OUT. OH NO I'M JUST SAYING GO AHEAD. I DON'T WANT TO GET THEM IN TROUBLE. ALRIGHT, JUDGE, LET'S CALL FOR THE VOTE AND END THIS ONE. OKAY, I GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. OKAY. CONCLUDES. AGENDA ITEMS WILL GO INTO PERSONNEL THIS MORNING. 3.1
