County awards parks surfacing project, buys new park trash receptacles and renews safety contracts
Loading...
Summary
The board approved purchases for park trash receptacles and awarded a parks aggregate surfacing contract; the county also renewed two annual safety agreements with SafeAssure Consultants for workplace and public‑works safety training.
The McLeod County Board approved several procurement and services items on April 21, including park receptacles, an aggregate surfacing contract for park roads and two annual safety service renewals.
John Jerbeck, parks and fairgrounds manager, described the recommended trash receptacles from Hilliard Inc. (Hutchinson) at a cost of $13,747.60, saying the new units replace degraded steel barrels and have secured lids and a door for emptying. "These tops actually don't remove," a parks staff member explained during Q&A, adding the design reduces wind and rain intrusion and simplifies collection; the board approved the purchase.
The board also awarded PK520026‑008, the parks' aggregate surfacing project, to Hansen Gravel Inc. for $83,928.25; staff noted the engineer's estimate was $85,000 and set a May 4–20 construction window to avoid peak campground use.
Separately, staff presented renewal of annual service agreements with SafeAssure Consultants Inc. for general safety training and procedures ($4,675.43) and for OSHA/public‑works safety training ($7,458.07); the board approved both renewals.
Provenance: parks staff presentation and SafeAssure items (SEG 930–SEG 1112; SEG 1520–SEG 1563).
