Collegedale commission approves police vehicle, camera service agreement, pump‑station representative and airport change order

The Board of Commissioners approved several operational purchases and contract actions during the meeting.

Police vehicle: Chief Sapp said a police Durango was totaled in a crash and proposed purchasing a 2024 Ford F-150 as an administrative vehicle, moving an existing Durango back into patrol. Staff said the insurance proceeds would be applied but would not fully cover the replacement; the department estimated about $9,000 in upfitting costs. The commission approved the purchase by roll call.

Truck camera/data service: Public works staff requested approval of a master service agreement with Third Eye, a provider of cameras and data collection systems for side-arm garbage and brush trucks intended to reduce missed pickups and improve driver safety. Staff said the city had used a trial version for about two years and that the full contract would restore access to archived video and data. Estimated annual operating costs were described as roughly $3,000–$6,000 per year depending on options; the agreement term discussed was five years with pricing locked in under the presented contract. Commissioners approved entering into the agreement with direction that staff finalize options and pricing.

Pump station resident representative: The commission approved a contract addendum for a Cannon & Cannon resident project representative (design engineer) for the pump-station modernization project. The commission approved an additional, not-to-exceed amount of $50,000 for on-site representation (approximately one site visit per week) to help interpret complex controls and electronic systems during construction. Staff said funding would come from the sewer fund, grant funds, or project bond as appropriate.

Airport project change order: Airport staff reported an unsuitable soil condition discovered during drainage installation for a developer pad, which required additional backfill and materials. Tyson Construction submitted a change order for $21,679.49 to remediate the settled pipe and associated work; the commission approved the change order and staff said the cost would come from project overage funds beyond the grant.

Each of the four items was approved by roll call; commissioners recorded yes votes for each measure.
