Summary
The assembly approved a sole-source contract awarding $70,560 for exhaust filtration system installation (six units) at the South Tongass Fire Station, funded largely by grants with a $3,500 local contribution.
The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly approved a sole-source contract on May 11 to install diesel exhaust filtration systems at the South Tongass Fire Station. Assemblymember Bowling moved the contract award for $70,560; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously by members present.
Assemblymember Thompson clarified the project is mostly grant-funded with a $3,500 contribution from the South Tongass Fire Department and that the budgeted amount covers six filtration units to serve all vehicles at the station.
