Daviess County fiscal court approves survey, geotech and other contracts, equipment purchases and two board appointments
Summary
The fiscal court approved multiple procurement actions Oct. 23 including topographic and geotechnical surveys for the public safety facility, an easement amendment with ANR Pipeline, security-service agreements, a 3‑phase utility contract at the West County landfill, equipment purchases (ballistic vests, van), elevator maintenance, and appointments to the water district and Owensboro Health board.
At its Oct. 23 meeting, the Daviess County Fiscal Court approved a slate of procurement and administrative items the record shows are intended to advance construction and operations across county facilities.
Design and site work: The court accepted a Bryant Engineering Inc. proposal for a topographic survey for the Daviess County Public Safety Facility for $8,500 and accepted a Vector Engineers Inc. proposal for geotechnical site characterization for $12,300 (with likely additional services under $2,000); deliverables for both firms will be incorporated into design documents by the contracted architect, Branstetter Carroll Inc.
Infrastructure and easement: The court approved an amendment to an existing easement/right-of-way agreement with ANR Pipeline Company to permit adjustments to the pipeline bore on the West Daviess County landfill parcel after a survey identified runoff and drainage issues; Solid Waste Management and legal staff had reviewed the changes and recommended recording minor exhibit updates.
Utilities contract: The court approved a 10‑year, conditionally refundable contract with Kinergy to upgrade leachate-tank service to 3‑phase power. The record shows an advance contribution of $2,360.44 that will be refunded annually over 10 years if the county meets a usage threshold and maintains uninterrupted service terms.
Security and equipment: The court ratified additional security-service agreements through the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office as advised by the state auditor and approved purchase awards including a ballistic-vest RFQ (recommended award to Ray O'Hara, estimated $16,875) and a replacement light commercial van for the detention center from Paul Miller Group for $67,343 under the state master agreement. The Administrative Office of the Courts will reimburse a $3,995 HVAC change order for the Morton J. Holbrook Judicial Center.
Facilities contracts: The court approved DC Elevator for preventative elevator maintenance for 2026 following a competitive bid process.
Appointments: The court appointed Zach Wolford to the Daviess County Water District Board to fill an unexpired term through Dec. 15, 2028, and appointed David Rudd to the Owensboro Health Inc. Board effective Nov. 1, 2025, through Oct. 31, 2028.
