Haskell County approves fire-alarm monitoring quote; opens single sealed tractor bid
Summary
Commissioners approved a fire-alarm monitoring contract required by the fire marshal for courthouse annex occupancy (one-time $61.79, $39.50/month) and opened a sealed bid from Hogan Tractor Company for a 2023 John Deere 6120E at $72,000; no bid award was recorded.
Haskell County commissioners approved a quote for fire-alarm monitoring services for the courthouse annex and opened a sealed bid for a district tractor during their meeting.
Staff presented the monitoring quote from J& systems that includes a one-time setup fee of $61.79 and a recurring monthly fee of $39.50. Commissioners discussed payment sources and agreed to pay from the courthouse/general fund as appropriate; they also noted that the monitoring is required for the fire marshal to approve occupancy. The motion to approve the monitoring contract passed unanimously.
Separately, the board opened sealed bid No. 02-2026 for District 1, which produced a single bid from Hogan Tractor Company for a 2023 John Deere 6120E (mechanical front-wheel drive, cab with heat and air) with 175 hours and a total price of $72,000. The transcript records the bid reading but does not record a subsequent vote to accept or reject the bid.
Other routine items approved during the meeting included the purchase-card payment paperwork, the election-board monthly report, and routine appropriations and checks. The board adjourned at the end of the session.
