Council approves plaza shade structures, booster-station change order, truck purchases and a festival permit
Summary
Council approved a $45,718 award to Crouch Recreation for four plaza shade structures, a $19,732.57 change order for the College Park Booster Station, purchase of two 1-ton trucks for $120,674.64 from Fremont Motor Company, and a festival permit for Flyover Brewing Company.
The Scottsbluff City Council approved several procurement and permit items during its Nov. 20 meeting.
Parks director Matt Carpenter presented a recommendation to award a $45,718 purchase for four hyper-shade structures to Crouch Recreation for installation in the 18th Street Plaza. Carpenter said the structures would be 20-by-20 with roughly 15-foot entry heights, removable cloth tops for winter storage and covered by a manufacturer warranty. Funding will come from an Oregon Trail Community Foundation fund set up for plaza improvements.
Public Works reported and council approved a $19,732.57 change order to the College Park Booster Station project to reroute power underground rather than overhead; staff said this work will bring the project to conclusion and allow final training and commissioning.
The council also approved the low bid from Fremont Motor Company to purchase two 1-ton platform trucks with hoists for $120,674.64. Staff said the trucks meet bid specifications and that the two old trucks will be sold at auction.
Separately, council approved a community festival permit for BDS 3 C LLC dba Flyover Brewing Company to park a food truck in front of 1824 Broadway for holiday events on Nov. 28 and Dec. 26, 2025; the applicant said the event promotes downtown shopping and reported no objections from neighbors.
What happens next: Staff will finalize contracts, schedule work and proceed to bidding and execution as appropriate. The booster-station change order and truck purchases will move into procurement and asset-management channels.
