The Moffat County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) convened on January 3, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including bids for a dumpster drop box and a salvage metal contract, as well as a public hearing on the proposed supplemental budget for December 2024.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the bid for a dumpster drop box truck. The only bid received was for $89,112.28, which exceeded the budgeted amount significantly. As a result, the board decided not to accept this bid and will reissue the request for proposals in the future.

Next, the commissioners reviewed a bid from X Field Services for salvage metal collection, which was priced at $31 per ton. This was the sole bid received for this service. After some discussion regarding last year’s rates, which were $34 per ton, the board agreed to accept the bid from X Field Services. A motion was made and seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.

Following these discussions, the meeting took a brief recess before reconvening for a public hearing. The hearing was focused on the proposed supplemental budget for December 2024, which had been publicly posted in accordance with legal requirements.

Overall, the meeting addressed significant financial decisions regarding county services and set the stage for future actions on the dumpster drop box procurement. The board's next steps will involve re-bidding for the dumpster truck and finalizing the supplemental budget discussions.
