if Mr. Rairden had come to him directly, something could <br />have been done about this situation more quickly. <br />ESTABLISHMENT OF SECOND ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT ROAD <br />PAVING CREW <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/10/84: <br />Michael Wright, <br />TO: DATE: September 10, 19 8 4FI LE: <br />• <br />County Administrator <br />SUBJECT: Establishment of a Second Road <br />and Bridge Department Road <br />Paving Crew <br />FROM:James W. Davis, P.E. ,�� REFERENCES: <br />Public Works Director <br />Staff has been requested to determine the feasibility of <br />establishing a second road paving crew to assist in the paving <br />of the 21 petition paving projects for which valid petitions <br />have been received (see attached list). <br />The existing road paving crew has completed 38 road paving <br />projects since it's conception in 1982. Of these projects,21 <br />local roads were paved under the petition paving program at an <br />average cost of $6.39 per front foot (see attached list).No costs <br />have been added for equipment charges. The total front footage <br />paved has been 50,409. If $1.00 per front foot were charged <br />for equipment costs, about $50,000 per year could be generated <br />for equipment. It is anticipated that 50,000 front feet could <br />be paved per year since the second crew would concentrate on <br />Petition Paving only and not be obligated to pave other roads. <br />If both crews worked solely on petition paving, approximately <br />$100,.000 per year could be generated for equipment purchases. <br />This equipment charge assessed would create a revenue for Petition <br />Paving Equipment. <br />Labor is being charged to each project and would be a direct <br />charge, 750 of which is paid by assessment and 25% by the County. <br />The Road and Bridge Department has prepared an analysis of <br />personnel and equipment needs for 2 -five person road paving crews <br />(see attached). The costs for added personnel is $85,594.60 per <br />year. Capital equipment costs total $214,594.60, however, the <br />critical need at this time to establish the second crew is a <br />self propelled roller estimated to cost $30,000. The Road and <br />Bridge Department could rent a Vibrating Steel Wheel Roller when <br />needed and could use a truck now on inventory. The use of this <br />existing -equipment would minimally r@duce the maintenance <br />capability now established. The minimal financial impact would <br />be: <br />Personnel $85,594.60 <br />Equipment $30,000.00 <br />$115,594.60 <br />51 <br />OCT 10 1984 BOOK 58 F -A E.610 I <br />
