A brief question and answer period ensued regarding the sand boring samples tested, the <br />definition of "best sand", and the "fluff' factor. <br />Charles Rowan, Rowan Construction, spoke about his experience with dredging mines, <br />construction, equipment, and sand boring samples. <br />Donald Dansby emphasized that truck drivers usually take the fastest, shortest and <br />easiest route to get to their destinations, and felt it would be the same situation with Ranger's <br />trucks when transporting the sand. He also believed the SUI mine had the best sand per the <br />County's consultant evaluation. <br />Brian Davis, owner of the SUI mine, calculated the different routes which the transport <br />trucks could/would use, and the total mileage for each. He did not understand the logic for <br />awarding Ranger Construction the bid award when their travel routes would add an additional <br />520,104 additional miles of truck traffic to the local roads. <br />The Vice Chairman called a break at 2:28 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at 2:3 7p.m., <br />with all members present. <br />Attorney Thalwitzer listed the reasons why he believed the competitive bid process was <br />violated, and asked the Board to reconsider their decision and award the contract to SUI. <br />37 <br />September 22, 2009 <br />
