Elko council signs off on multiple capital project completions, extends Oasis Online IT services, and keeps $5,000 insurance deductible
Summary
Council approved final acceptances for several capital projects including a $9.42M connector road ARPA project and a $1.503M sports‑complex concrete package, extended Oasis Online's IT services agreement for three years, and selected a $5,000 deductible renewal option for the public‑agency insurance pool.
The Elko City Council on June 24 approved a package of capital project final acceptances and contract actions and chose a renewal option for the city's insurance pool.
Key approvals included final acceptance of the Arikhardt Boulevard Connector Road and Waterline ARPA project (final contract cost reported at $9,420,753.56, including five change orders totaling $430,408.11), final completion and payment for the Algo Sports Complex Phase 1 concrete project (total contract $1,503,247.50 after two change orders), final acceptance of North Effluent Storage Reservoir embankment repairs (project reported under budget at $4,549,521.51 after a $50,392.50 deductive adjustment), and final acceptance for the Jennings Way Pavement Project (contract value $402,600.50; no change orders). Council approved all items by voice votes.
On technology services, council approved a three‑year extension to the Oasis Online contract (annual service fees reported at $93,456 with a 3% annual increase in later years). Dan Slantz, president of Oasis Online, highlighted improved cybersecurity measures and city phishing‑test results, noting the city's phishing‑prone rate had fallen to about 2.8 percent in recent tests.
Council also considered the Nevada Public Agency Insurance Pool renewal. Staff presented three deductible options with corresponding program costs and recommended options 1 or 2. Insurance representative Dane Iriardi told the council that moving from a $5,000 to a $10,000 deductible “could potentially save you $24,000 annually,” but after discussion council moved to approve Option 1 (the $5,000 deductible) by motion.
The meeting also approved regular warrants and hand‑cut checks for the period totaling $4,707,532.39 with the usual voice vote.
Votes on these items were recorded by voice; staff will bring contract documents and any follow‑up documentation to future meetings as required for finalization.
