Highway superintendent reports $47,000 radio replacement quote and Lake Mohee bridge repairs ready to begin
Summary
Highway Superintendent John Pluimer told the council the county's 30-year-old radio system has failed and J&K Communications quoted $47,000 for a replacement; he also said repairs for Bridge #18 at Lake Mohee are ready to start.
Blackford County's highway team reported equipment and bridge work needs at the Aug. 7 council meeting.
Highway Superintendent John Pluimer told the council "the 30 year old radio system has stopped working. He has a quote of $47,000 for a new system from J&K Communications." Pluimer also reported that Bridge #18 at Lake Mohee is ready to start repairs.
The minutes attribute the radio-system failure to the age of the equipment (30 years) and list the vendor quote as a single figure; the minutes do not record whether the quote will be brought back as a formal appropriation request or whether replacement will be funded from existing highway budgets. No motion or vote on the radio purchase was recorded at the meeting.
