(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners opened sealed bids for a motor grader and for tires for the Road Department when they met Tuesday.
Bids for a grader were received from Titan Machinery of Lincoln in the amount of $248,500 with a trade allowance of $29,000. Nebraska Machinery submitted a bid of $254,000 with a trade allowance of $34,000. The bids were accepted for further review.
Tire bids were accepted for review from Falls City Truck and Trailer, Harmons OK Tire in Falls City, KansasLand Tire Group of Topeka; Cross Dillon Tire of Lincoln; and Koch’s Auto Service in Dawson. The tire bids are on file with the County Clerk’s Office for public inspection.
Commissioner received a letter from Drainage District #8 in regards to the status of a closed bridge. Merle Bachman and Raymond Finck requested to meet with the Board to review the matter to possibly resolve the access issue. The Drainage District believes the law states the County must provide an access and according do the Corps of Engineers the use of the levee is not a public access. The closed bridge provides access to 1,745 acres of farmland that are above flood stage. The County and the Drainage District will further research options to resolve the matter.
Commissioners also received a letter from the Veterans Service Committee stating their total rejection of the proposed consolidation of the County Veteran’s Service Offices in other Southeast Nebraska counties.
County Attorney Doug Merz cancelled his appointment wit the Board concerning the salary of a Deputy County Attorney.
The Board also voted to terminate an agreement between Richardson, Johnson, Nemaha and Pawnee counties and People United for Families, Inc. doing business as Partners for Otoe county effective December 1st.
An agreement with the Village of Shubert for law enforcement services was discussed with no action taken. A resolution was adopted changing the amount required for an approved purchase order by the County Board from $500 to $1,000.
