Chase County approves purchase of Strobel FE1210 scraper and advertises for groundskeeper and cleaning contracts
Summary
The board approved buying a Strobel FE1210 scraper for $56,080 from Yost Farm Supply, and voted to advertise three-week bid solicitations for a Champion Mill groundskeeper and separate Courthouse/Extension cleaning contracts to open July 28, 2026.
After reviewing informal bids from several vendors, the board voted to purchase a pull‑type Strobel FE1210 scraper from Yost Farm Supply for $56,080 to serve the Road Department.
Commissioner Kurt Bernhardt presented bids from multiple suppliers and moved to purchase the Strobel FE1210 from Yost Farm Supply; Commissioner Billie Muehlenkamp seconded. Vote: Muehlenkamp — yes; Jacci Brown — absent; Bernhardt — yes.
The board also approved two advertising motions. Commissioners voted to advertise for three weeks in July for bids for a Champion Mill groundskeeper, with bids to be opened at 8:45 a.m. on July 28 and the new contract to commence September 1, 2026. Separately, commissioners voted to advertise for three weeks in July for Courthouse and Extension cleaning contracts (separate bids for each location with an option to bid both together), with bids to be opened at 9:00 a.m. on July 28 and a contract start date of September 1, 2026.
The minutes list the vendor bids considered for the scraper purchase (21st Century, Titan Machinery, AKRS Equipment, Yost Farm Supply and others) and the selected price and vendor. The motions to advertise for bids include explicit opening times and the September 1 contract commencement date.
The board did not award the groundskeeper or cleaning contracts at the meeting; those solicitations will be opened on July 28 as specified.
