Ellsworth board approves vehicle purchase, extra engineering funds and asphalt resurfacing bid
Summary
The Ellsworth Board of Education approved purchasing two Chevy Suburbans, authorized $2,000 in additional engineering funds for a high school drainage study, and accepted an asphalt resurfacing bid totaling $30,601.74. All motions passed unanimously.
The Ellsworth Board of Education voted unanimously March 9 to approve several procurement and facilities items, including a vehicle purchase, additional engineering funding for a drainage study and an asphalt resurfacing contract.
Board member Jake Svaty moved to accept Don Hattan Chevrolet’s bid for two Chevy Suburbans at $65,700 each, for a total of $131,400; the motion passed 5-0. Transportation Director PJ Weinhold was present for the discussion of the transportation request. Svaty also moved to authorize an additional $2,000 payment to KAW Valley Engineering to request bids to complete drainage work at Ellsworth Junior-Senior High School; that motion likewise passed 5-0.
The board accepted Holland’s bid for Phase 3 asphalt resurfacing, with board member Cynthia Edgerle moving to approve the $30,601.74 contract; the motion passed 5-0. Matt Rowe of Kaw Valley Engineering was listed as present earlier in the meeting in relation to facility matters.
Why it matters: the vehicle purchase affects district transportation capacity and the engineering and resurfacing approvals move ongoing capital maintenance projects forward. Each item was approved by a recorded voice vote with a 5-0 tally, and the board did not attach contingencies in the minutes.
Votes at a glance: the transportation vehicle purchase, the $2,000 drainage-study payment, and the asphalt resurfacing contract were each approved by unanimous board votes recorded in the meeting minutes.
What’s next: procurement and facilities staff will proceed with vendor coordination and contracting consistent with the approved bids; no additional board action on these items is recorded in the minutes.
