Commission approves bridge bids, township appointment and routine county business
Summary
The Dickinson County Commission approved procurement contracts for bridge steel and decking, accepted a township trustee resignation and appointed a replacement, assigned a commissioner to sign payables during the KAC conference, and approved several other routine items including CMB license renewals.
Dickinson County commissioners approved a set of procurement and administrative items during their regular meeting. Key votes included accepting the low bid for structural steel for a bridge on Flag Road, awarding the decking and sheeting contract, approving culvert purchases for multiple road sites, renewing two club/malt beverage (CMB) licenses, accepting a township trustee resignation and appointing a successor, and designating a commissioner to sign accounts payable while other commissioners attend the Kansas Association of Counties conference.
Procurement: Staff reported three bids for the structural-steel package for the Flag Road bridge; Husker Steel submitted the low bid at $27,546 delivered and the commission approved that award. For decking and sheeting, Wellborn Sales submitted the only responsive bid at $30,486.10 delivered and the commission approved that purchase. Commissioners also accepted a low bid of approximately $6,578.22 delivered for culvert/tube materials at several road sites; staff said county crews will handle installation and that some deliveries may not occur until the following year.
License and appointments: Commissioners approved CMB-license renewals for Ferris Station and Waltz 4 Seasons (township approval and state vetting were noted as part of the process). They accepted a resignation letter from Lyle Heights (transcript contains inconsistent spellings) as Sherman Township trustee effective Jan. 1, 2026, and approved Daryl Ferguson to fill the position. Because two commissioners will attend the KAC conference, the board appointed Lynn Peterson to sign accounts payable on or before Dec. 11, 2025.
Votes were taken by motion, second and voice vote; the transcript records approvals and chair confirmations but does not show a roll-call tally in the excerpt. Staff will proceed with contract administration and scheduling for deliveries and installation.
