Council approves 8 streetlights near new elementary school; steel poles add $27,009.18, trenching bid $18,900
Summary
Council approved installation of eight streetlights along Chisholm and Tanner Trails near the new elementary school, accepting a sole‑source pole price from Evergy and a Betts Trenching low bid of $18,900 for electrical trenching; total approved amount was $45,909.18.
Staff presented a plan to install eight streetlights on Chisholm and Tanner Trails around the new elementary school, with three steel poles placed around the roundabout and the remaining poles as wood.
“The $27,009.18 would be for the difference in the light poles from Evergy,” the staff member said, explaining Evergy is the only vendor available for the poles. Staff reported Betts Trenching submitted the low trenching bid at $18,900, bringing the total project cost to $45,909.18. A council member moved to approve the trenching quote and the pole purchase and authorized the mayor to sign; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
