Agenda items
Commissioners are scheduled to consider a request from the Road and Bridge Department to purchase half tanker drainage structures for two stream crossings in the county:
●S. Donmyer Road, 0.25 miles south of E. Lapsley Road
●S. Amos Road, 0.5 miles south of E. Water Well Road
"Both locations require a drainage structure larger than what a pipe can provide. Therefore, Engineering is recommending a half tanker from The Railroad Yard Inc. This structure consists of a 10’ diameter tank cut in half and a steel plate is welded to the bottom," the Road and Bridge Department request noted.
The department also is requesting approval to purchase an additional half tanker for use in the future.
The department explained that the half tanker structures are from a single source supplier.
"Currently, we have not found another solution as economical as a half tanker from The Railroad Yard," the department noted in its request.
The three half tankers would cost $52,470, which includes shipping.
Commissioners also are scheduled to consider approving a proposed Evergy easement request for the new jail property.
At the end of the meeting, commissioners are scheduled to meet in executive session to discuss non-elected personnel.
