Kamron Woodring, Road and Bridge Supervisor, was present for continued discussion on the rock hauling bids. Following review of the budget and discussion with Clerk Taylor, everyone agreed to give this option a try to see if getting CART rock on the roads earlier in the year using this option would reduce fuel costs, wear on equipment used for hauling long distance, reduce overtime and allow the department to concentrate manpower on getting rock on the roads instead of hauling. Everyone agreed that it will take a few years to see the full effect. Supervisor Woodring stated that Hendrickson Transportation, LLC, submitted the low bid and did meet bid specifications. The commissioners voted to accept the bid for hauling approximately 30,000 tons of rock divided between Rock Port, Tarkio and Fairfax as specified.
Supervisor Woodring then presented a bid from Murphy Tractor for a 2022 Loadrite 624P Scale for $14,630.00 to be attached to the current John Deere loader. Murphy is the only provider for this in our territory and since it is being installed on a piece of equipment under warranty by them, the commission felt they were the sole source provider. Following discussion, the commissioners voted to accept the bid from Murphy Tractor.
Purchase Order #08667360 executing the purchase of the 2021 John Deere 5125R Utility Tractor, which converted it from the lease to a purchase, was reviewed by the commission, the purchase price being $99,500. The commissioners voted to approve the purchase as stated in the purchase order.
Garry McFee with Howe Company stopped in to visit with the commission about BRO funding.
Rhonda Wiley, Emergency Management/911 Director, was in to discuss department matters. She reported that she and four other team members had attended the Missouri 911 Conference where Atchison County 911 Dispatcher Candis Stanton was recognized for her outstanding service and was presented with the Missouri Telecommunicator of the Year Award 2022 at the conference. The Atchison County Commissioners are extremely proud of Candis and would like to thank her for her incredible service to Atchison County.
