Custer County approves $331,839 in bills, including $178,402 water truck and $10,750 Baseline Engineering agreement
Summary
The board approved an accounts-payable batch totaling $331,839.06 that included a $178,402 water truck purchase; commissioners also approved a $10,750 agreement with Baseline Engineering to prepare bid documents for a CDOT-funded courthouse sidewalk project (project 35077CS).
Custer County commissioners approved an accounts-payable batch totaling $331,839.06 during the meeting, including several large line items and a separate procurement agreement for the courthouse sidewalk project.
Finance staff ran through the AP list through Jan. 28, naming notable items: 3 Rocks Engineering and surveying for the workforce housing item; village of Silvercliff survey and vendor Pappos for $7,350; January health insurance coverage just over $29,000; LibertyVote annual election services for $15,665; a water truck purchase from Custom Truck and Equipment LLC for $178,402; road base and tire purchases totaling $9,281 and $9,875 respectively; and a $5,000 early childhood needs assessment contract for Custer County Kids Council. The total presented was $331,839.06. The board voted to accept the AP batch.
Separately, the board considered and approved a $10,750 standard form agreement with Baseline Engineering Corp. to prepare bid documents and provide procurement coordination for the courthouse sidewalk project. The work is grant-funded through CDOT; the original grant was $250,000, with the county applying for an additional $50,000 because construction costs have risen. Contract pricing was described as $6,000 for bid document preparation and $4,750 for process coordination. The project number listed in the agreement is 35077CS. Commissioners authorized the agreement by voice vote.
Why it matters: The AP vote orders payment on major cost items, including vehicle acquisition for county operations. The Baseline Engineering agreement advances procurement for an accessibility and sidewalk construction project in front of the courthouse that county staff expect to proceed when weather allows. The transcript shows clarifying discussion about VIN swapping on the water truck and logistics for delivery.
