Kay County awards fire equipment contracts: local vendor selected for fire truck; Tonkawa ladder truck repairs awarded
Summary
The BOCC awarded Bid #2026-10 for a Dale Township fire truck to local vendor Ty Worley ($35,200) after the district attorney cited availability and fuel/time considerations, and awarded Bid #2026-11 (Tonkawa ladder truck repairs) to Myder, LLC for $50,399.72.
The BOCC awarded two separate fire-related procurement items during the May 4 meeting. For Bid #2026-10 (Equipment Fire Truck, Dale Township), the board awarded the contract to the second-lowest bidder, Ty Worley, for $35,200 after District Attorney Brian Hermanson reviewed and approved a letter of explanation that emphasized local vendor availability and volunteer access to service hours. DA Hermanson noted fuel costs and volunteer scheduling as part of the justification.
Separately the board opened and awarded Bid #2026-11 (Repairs Ladder Truck, Tonkawa Fire Department). Myder, LLC submitted the only bid at $50,399.72 and the BOCC approved awarding the contract to Myder by unanimous vote.
