Commission waives purchasing policy, approves $10,000 exterior maintenance bid for EMS building
Summary
After soliciting multiple estimates, commissioners approved a $10,000 contract paid from ARPA funds to repair and refinish the exterior stucco and railings at the county EMS building; the item included a purchasing policy waiver because the low price was under the $10,000 threshold.
The Seward County Board of County Commissioners approved a contract to repair and refinish the exterior of the county EMS building and waived a purchasing policy requirement for the item on Aug. 4.
County staff reported soliciting multiple contractors and receiving three proposals to prepare railing and stucco walls, prime and paint railings, and install new base coat, mesh and stucco finish. Staff recommended awarding the work to the low proposer at $10,000. "It is our recommendation tonight that you approve the bid from My Stroke Concrete in the amount of $10,000," a staff presenter said (contractor name varied in the transcript). The motion on the floor asked the commission to waive the purchasing policy and approve the bid to be paid from ARPA funds.
Commissioners approved the motion by show of hands. Staff said work on interior bay floors at an EMS facility would begin the next morning at 7 a.m. and that trucks normally stored in the bay would be temporarily relocated. County staff discussed containment measures for dust and potential exposure during floor grinding and said employees could be relocated if conditions warranted.
The commission approved the award and ARPA funding authorization; the exact contractor name was inconsistent in the transcript and should be confirmed in the county procurement file before execution.
