One commissioner asked that Commissioner Scruggs and staff member Shane coordinate scheduling and details for the workshop.

Matt Oler, project manager, told commissioners the project (2202CO691) — described as the FAS 270 bridge guardrail replacement located on Hedge Lane south of 340 Seventh Street — received one competitive bid from Icon Structures. The bid was reported as $544,440.60; Schwab Eaton provided the project engineer's estimate of $262,300.

Oler recommended rejecting the bid (RFB 2025) because it exceeded the engineer’s estimate by about 107% and asked to resolicit the project at a later date. Commissioners approved the staff recommendation to reject the bid; the motion to reject was moved by Commissioner Vickery and seconded by Commissioner Dedecker and passed unanimously.

Commissioner Dieterker suggested staff explore milling down the road and reducing grading as a cost-saving measure before rebidding; Oler said he would investigate that option in subsequent solicitations. The transcript does not record any award or contract; staff will prepare the project for a future solicitation.","After receiving a single bid more than 100% over the engineer's estimate, Miami County commissioners rejected the proposal for the FAS 270 Hedge Lane bridge guardrail replacement and directed staff to resolicit the project.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6189599,"Miami County adopts Homeland Security Region J hazard mitigation resolution",73,193000,266000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5055941-c341c69e7ffde42f3e5b4b809f52d909&start=193&end=266","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5055941-c341c69e7ffde42f3e5b4b809f52d909/thumbnail_193000.jpg","/articles/6189599/Miami-County/Kansas/Miami-County-adopts-Homeland-Security-Region-J-hazard-mitigation-resolution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189599-9fef248f1ecbf4bf5a2d5888e43ba4ac/orig.mp4?Expires=1773620677&Signature=ZNHgC2eshuTNj3iAXuIE5x8JSmJimajrbzCKUAPd~3CoLA-BZWWqx7-JZia6Hqs5oNcxm~HMYDfRsW0cFFMMrFfZFLw6tMh64H10Tt0ulHQVrZLMy8Em89K5dLzBHqlgdt5H~dQTXExF2fo8tvSa68jUu4TP8MWhHaISFo1qnDsA4a78kQeZ6uid0xZNiyG7Z2xu6zhUufKhS~R8aAnwBd~ZqWCA8BumSO0~hPon-0tkoJ5LCBEBXlQs7C~ML7VM1tCO~wWs0iD7mgw0CWaKFa01Adbz5hPZ25WTzCMNIIOhik4KJI1eGOpaWDf2v8dYNdLyOGMG9g82oENVyQufwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Miami County commissioners voted unanimously June 18 to adopt a regional resolution to participate in the Homeland Security Region J Hazard Mitigation Plan.

The action, moved by Commissioner Vickery and seconded by Commissioner Scruggs, affirms Miami County’s recognition of natural hazards that threaten people and property and the county’s intent to undertake mitigation measures. The resolution cites the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 as the federal framework emphasizing pre-disaster mitigation.

County staff presented the resolution on behalf of Sheriff Kelly, who had a scheduling conflict. The presenter said the resolution acknowledges Miami County’s role in regional mitigation planning and the need to reduce future harm through coordinated mitigation actions. No questions or objections were raised before the vote.

The measure passed on a unanimous voice vote; commissioners indicated all five present voted in favor. The resolution does not, in the meeting record, list specific mitigation projects or funding sources; staff will manage next steps consistent with the regional plan and any applicable federal or state guidelines.","The Miami County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted a resolution joining the Homeland Security Region J Hazard Mitigation Plan, citing the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and committing the county to pre-disaster mitigation planning.","actionData","errors"]
