Chase County pursues hazardous-waste container grant; county share could be about $10,000
Summary
Staff said a climate-controlled household hazardous-waste container was quoted at $16,991 and that replacing the concrete pad raised the total to about $25,000; the grant would cover roughly $15,000, leaving an estimated county share of $10,000 unless alternative options lower the cost.
Unidentified Speaker 9 updated the commission on a previously approved climate-controlled hazardous-waste container priced at $16,991. Staff received a quote of about $8,000 to remove the old pillars and pour a new concrete pad (a 12-by-45-foot pad sized for a 40-foot trailer), bringing the project total to approximately $25,000.
Speaker 9 said the grant tied to this project would cover $15,000, leaving the county responsible for roughly $10,000 unless the county can perform the concrete work or find other cost savings. Commissioners discussed whether road and bridge staff could pour the pad or whether the county preferred to contract the work; staff agreed to seek quotes and report back.
The presenter said they planned to file the grant application and sought input from the commission before finalizing site work; no formal funding vote for the pad or county share was recorded in the transcript during the meeting.
