Fire District #5 to purchase 1999 Ford 450 Squad
Background: Fire District #5 took possession of their new squad on 1/1/2024 which replaces a 1999 Ford 450 Squad that was in their fleet. Fire District #3 Board of Trustees met on 12/18/2023 and voted to purchase the 1999 Ford 450 from Fire District #5 for $37,000 pending County Commission approval.
Change Order for Barn 1 and 2 Electrical, 2024-07
On September 19, 2023, your Commission awarded a bid to DRCL Electric for $54,550 to complete necessary work related to the exterior electric lines for Barns 1 & 2. In further consultation with Evergy, because of the transformer’s size the planned pole mounted transformer needs to be changed to a ground mounted transformer.
This requested change will consist of removing and replacing concrete from the alley to Barn 1, installing underground conduits in Barn 1 and 2, and installing bollards around the ground-level transformer for protection. This change also credits the project to delete new weatherheads and framing since they will not be needed.
In total the amount requested for this change order is an additional $5,678.00 to the project.
