The Logan County Commissioners tackled two important county maintenance issues during their regular board meeting Tuesday morning, giving approval to remove and replace a boiler at the Road and Bridge Department and to re-roof a cluster of buildings at the Logan County Justice Center.

The commissioners approved an agreement with Brian Seyferth & Associates to replace the current waste oil boiler with a new gas-fired boiler at the Road and Bridge maintenance shop. Commissioner Byron Pelton said the current waste oil boiler is no longer able to meet the demands at the shop and needs to be replaced before winter.

The scope of work submitted by the engineering company includes a mechanical plan of the boiler room indicating removal and replacement of the existing boiler, piping schematics and sequence of operation for a flat fee of $2,840.

The commissioners also agreed to enter into a contract with Front Range Roofing Systems of Greeley for the installation of a Ballasted EPDM Roof System at the Logan County Justice Center. Cost of the project sits at $342,810 and will include all existing roof structure surface areas at the Justice Center, including the sheriffs's administrative offices and detention center, district and county courts, probation offices, and district attorney offices.

The work includes the removal and disposal of the existing roofing membrane to the existing insulation; installation of inch coverboard and ballast .060 mil Black EPDM, re-using the existing ballast; installation of all wood and sheet metal as required by warranty; and providing the manufacturer's 15 year warranty upon completion of the project. Work on the nearly 58,700 square foot re-roofing project will begin Aug. 28 and must be completed by Nov. 15 according to the contract.

In other county business, the commissioners received one bid from McAtee Construction in Sterling for the 2017 Overlay Program. McAtee's bid of $83 per ton was referred to the Road and Bridge Department for further review.

The overlay project will affect six county roads: C.R. 25 between C.R. 4 and Propst Ranch (Merino Bridges) for 1.6 miles; C.R. 46 between C.R. 43 (Padroni Railroad Tracks) and Highway 113 for 3 miles; C.R. 31 between C.R. 8 north to C.R. 310 for 0.5 miles; C.R. 310 from C.R. 31 east to Highway 63 for 2 miles; C.R. 37.5 between C.R. 37.5 (South Corner) and C.R. 32 for 0.5 miles; and C.R. 32 from C.R. 37.5 east to C.R. 39 for 1.2 miles. No start date was given for the work; however all work on the overlay project is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 30.

The commissioners opened and approved one bid for the sale of the county's 2010 Model 2906 Super Single Tire Shear machine. The bid for the machine came from All Tread, LLC in the amount of $7,000.

One subdivision exemption was approved during the meeting. Michael M. and Dorris K. Roelle received approval to create a 20.04-acre parcel from a 232- acre parcel in Peetz. The request will allow the owners to sell the 20.04 acre plot located east of Highway 113 to Peetz Farmer's Co-op for business expansion.

James Horner received county approval for the final plat on Horner Minor Subdivision located at 11632 County Road 37. The plat will create a three lot minor subdivision from a 35.34 acre plot. The subdivision will consist of Lot 1, containing 16.29 acres, Lot 2, containing 18.22 acres and Lot 3, containing 0.83 acres.

The next business meeting for the commissioners will be Tuesday, July 18, at 9 a.m. at the Logan County Courthouse. The commissioners' work sessions, which follow the business meeting, have been moved from 10 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
