Nemaha County signs on major law‑enforcement facility upgrades and maintenance contracts
Summary
During 2018 Nemaha County moved forward with a planned addition to the Law Enforcement Building, approved a 10‑year Motorola console maintenance contract and approved procurement steps for a larger backup generator and alarm systems.
Nemaha County officials advanced multiple law‑enforcement facility projects in 2018, approving design and maintenance contracts and authorizing bids for power and alarm equipment.
Sheriff Brent Lottman presented a 10‑year Motorola maintenance contract for radio consoles and software that the board approved; minutes record the board’s authorization for the sheriff to sign the agreement that includes software updates and an annual amortized amount. The board also authorized requesting sealed bids and later accepted a Cummins bid for a 70 kW natural‑gas generator ($26,720) for the Law Enforcement Building. County minutes show the board also approved agreements to purchase and maintain digital alarm systems (Knight/Ariens/Fast Global Solutions) for the law‑enforcement campus.
Separately, the board reviewed a final design‑build amendment for the Law Enforcement Building office addition and approved a change order to merge generator and jail‑door work into the construction package. County staff coordinated the contracts and updated the board on required Corps and NDOT permitting for related bridge and road access work. The board recorded roll‑call approvals where required and instructed staff to file necessary permits and to include estimated costs in the 2019 capital plan.
The measures are part of a multi‑year capital push that the county recorded in its 2018 meeting minutes: a larger generator, alarm and console maintenance are intended to modernize operations and ensure continuity for dispatch and detention functions.
