Public Works reports Samsara forms failure, Mid States price increase and lists roadwork schedule
Summary
Public Works Director Scott Keiffaber reported Samsara forms have not worked as promised and recommended removing the forms portion from the county's 36-month agreement; he also noted a $3.65/ton price increase from Mid States and proposed renegotiation. The department listed multiple rock-hauling sites and anticipated finishing B road and Topeka Boulevard this week.
Public Works Director Scott Keiffaber and Road and Bridge Superintendent Joe Gardner gave the commissioners a regular operations update. Keiffaber told the board the county’s 36-month Samsara license agreement is 35 days from renewal but the vendor did not deliver the promised forms functionality that would integrate with the county’s STARS program; he proposed removing the forms portion from the billed contract until it functions.
Keiffaber also said a Mid States 50,000-ton contract was not met and that Mid States raised its price by $3.65 per ton this year; Commissioner Keith Kelly asked to schedule renegotiation talks with Mid States. The department listed recent rock-hauling and maintenance locations and said a rock stockpile is on W Road; B Road and Topeka Boulevard should be finished this week. The minutes record several specific road segments where rock was hauled.
