Perry County Fiscal Court approves multiple contracts, vehicle purchases and grant actions
Summary
Perry County Fiscal Court approved routine minutes, bills and transfers, awarded several construction and engineering contracts including a $3.28 million Skyview Water and Sewer contract and a $270,210 waterline contract, and accepted a KIA clean water grant while authorizing a staff signatory.
Perry County Fiscal Court approved a series of routine and project-related motions during its meeting, including contract awards, vehicle purchases and grant actions.
The court approved the minutes of its last meeting, routine bill payments, invoices and fund transfers after motions were made and seconded. Spencer moved to approve the minutes with Combs seconding; those procedural items carried on voice votes.
The body voted to award a 3,500 diesel truck to the vendor spoken in the record as “Tim's first scribe” for $65,679 to replace a 2012 Ford F-250 with roughly 220,000 miles. The court also approved awarding a construction contract to KeyTech Construction for $270,210 for a major waterline project. Speaker 2 described the work as part of multiple grant-supported projects now moving into construction.
The court approved awarding an engineering contract to Bell Engineering for Perry Park Improvements Phase 2, which the record says will rebuild a basketball court, add a pickleball court and address other park items under a GRAMA park-improvement grant. Separately, Atkins Excavating Company Inc. was awarded a $3,284,665 construction contract for the Skyview Water and Sewer Phase 2 project, which Speaker 2 tied to previously announced grant awards that now allow projects to begin.
The court approved payment number 1 under the Local Government Economic Development Fund (LGEDL) grant for the Constitution Avenue Road Improvements project in the amount of $102,892.50. Members also approved a resolution accepting the KIA Clean Water GRAMA grant 21CWW355 for the Skyview Water Infrastructure Project, authorized an amended and restated supplemental grant assistance agreement, amended the Perry County fiscal court budget accordingly, and authorized Scott Alexander to sign related documents.
A separate vehicle award approved the purchase of a 2023 F-550 dump truck from Close Auto Sales for $95,000.
All the listed motions were handled by voice vote as recorded in the meeting; the transcript records each motion as moved, seconded and approved by voice. The court also completed a second reading to adopt the City of Bickel road into the Prairie County Road Plant System and advanced a first reading regarding Joseph Drive.
The meeting record contains vendor and program names as spoken in the meeting transcript (KeyTech Construction; Bell Engineering; Atkins Excavating Company, Inc.; Close Auto Sales; LGEDL; KIA grant 21CWW355). Some vendor spellings and a few numeric entries in the transcript are unclear and may require verification with county records or meeting minutes.
The meeting adjourned after the routine items and award votes.
