Committee advances street and fleet upgrades including hot-box purchase and traffic-signal and streetlight contracts
Summary
The committee recommended purchases and contract awards: a 2026 truck-mounted pothole patcher (PB Loader) for $267,721, a traffic signal replacement at 105th & Metcalf (Capital Electric) for $964,000, and a LED streetlight upgrade (Capital Electric) for $578,769.25.
City staff presented multiple procurement items and the committee recommended all to city council. Josh (Public Works staff, speaker 6) summarized a re-bid for a truck-mounted pothole patcher (hot box) and recommended purchase from PB Loader Corporation for $267,721 after the specification change to a propane-fired heating unit lowered the price.
Sean (presenter, speaker 4) described an installation and reconstruction of the traffic signal at 105th Street and Metcalf Avenue with Capital Electric Line Builders as the low bidder at $964,000, and later explained a separate bid to replace 42 Evergy-owned streetlights in Glenwood Estates with new LED fixtures; Capital Electric was recommended for that work as well at $578,769.25. Committee members asked about coordination with street reconstruction and LED aesthetics; the committee moved and recommended all three items unanimously.
