County engineer wins approval for $33,523 GPS equipment purchase
Summary
Chickasaw County approved buying GPS survey rovers and base equipment from Seiler Geospatial for $33,523.31, citing aging equipment and survey delays; the engineer said a used total station would be considered later.
The Chickasaw County engineer asked the board to approve the purchase of GPS survey equipment from Seiler Geospatial totaling $33,523.31 and described the countys current survey equipment as eight years old and causing work delays. The engineer said the purchase would include rovers and base units and explained why the county decided not to buy a new total station at this time. He noted the county budgeted more than the purchase price in the line item to allow for options and said a used total station could be purchased later if it became available.
Supervisors asked about other large expenditures and whether this purchase would trigger additional budget amendments; the engineer said most equipment purchases are already accounted for in departmental budgets and that only unforeseen construction overruns would likely require amendments.
The board approved the purchase under county purchasing policy and asked staff to proceed with the vendor Seiler Geospatial.
