Jay County approves salt building roof repair, CCMG inspection contract and JEMS emergency repair payment
Loading...
Summary
Commissioners approved a Structures Unlimited quote of $18,480 to repair the salt building roof, authorized USI Consultants for construction inspection on the 400 S CCMG paving project (not to exceed $37,000), and approved a $4,353.45 emergency JEMS engine-repair claim.
The board approved several infrastructure and emergency-service items during the March 30 meeting.
Highway Superintendent Bob Howell presented a Structures Unlimited LLC quote of $18,480 to repair the salt building roof; commissioners approved the repair from infrastructure funds, noting the quote excludes equipment rental and lumber costs. Howell also asked staff to examine permit fees to offset future costs; County Attorney Wes Schemenaur agreed to draft an ordinance for review.
Commissioners authorized USI Consultants to provide construction inspection services for the 2026 CCMG 400 S paving project between Highway 67 and State Road 1, with a contract not to exceed $37,000 to cover inspection, verifying quantities and materials, and awarding oversight. Commissioner Doug Horn questioned whether inspection services were required; Commissioner Chad Aker supported the expense due to recent cracking on other projects and the motion passed unanimously.
On emergency medical services, shift supervisors Gary Barnett and Kyle Gerlach reported an ambulance suffered catastrophic engine failure and presented a claim to St. Myers Repair LLC for $4,353.45; commissioners approved payment ahead of the claims schedule and discussed consideration of a fifth ambulance tied to a new public safety building.
Additionally, the commissioners approved delaying the letting of Bridge #93 (originally set for July) due to condemnation issues and aiming for November; this shifts sequencing for Bridge #110 and other projects.
