Platte County approves $147,088 contract for emergency power supplies at three radio towers

Platte County commissioners voted Sept. 22 to approve a budgeted contract with Midwest Mobile Radio Systems to install emergency universal power supply units at three radio tower sites for which the county is responsible.

Tony Abraham, introduced in the meeting as a former sheriff's office captain and now a citizen, told commissioners the project was budgeted in the 2025 budget and has a budgetary impact of $147,088. "What you have before you, CO 2025 CO 131 is an agreement between Platte County and Midwest Mobile Radio Systems for the installation of emergency universal power supplies for the 3 radio tower sites," Abraham said.

The commission approved the agreement (2025-CO-131) on a 3-0 roll call. The transcript records no amendments or further implementation specifics at the meeting; the contract was presented as a programmed, budgeted purchase.
