The Board considered approval of an Official Detour Agreement with the Kansas Department of Transportation for use of Route 1061 south of US 56 Highway. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works/County Engineer, was present for the discussion. KDOT plans to replace a concrete box culvert on K-33 Highway approximately 0.2 miles north of N 100 Road next spring. They wish to utilize Route 1061 between N 100 Road and US 56 Highway for a portion of the signed detour. The agreement stipulates that KDOT and Douglas County will inspect and document the condition of Route 1061 prior to routing K-33 traffic to the detour. Following the use of Route 1061 as the detour, KDOT will restore Route 1061 to pre-detour conditions. KDOT has also agreed to pay for the application of dust palliative material for the entire one-mile section of N 100 Road between Route 1061 and K-33 Highway. The Department of Public Works will arrange for the dust palliative application. Jones made a motion to approve the Official Detour Agreement with KDOT; McElhaney seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
PURCHASING & SHERIFF 10-27-03
The Board discussed the purchase of vehicles for the Sheriff's Office. Jackie Waggoner, Purchasing Agent, presented this item. Waggoner noted that Douglas County and the City of Lawrence participated in a regional cooperative bidding process for the acquisition of 2004 vehicles. The Sheriff's Office has allocated funds to purchase seven (7) patrol vehicles in 2003. The two patrol vehicles awarded on the contract were Ford Crown Victoria and Chevrolet Impala. The Sheriff is interesting in purchasing the Impala awarded to Roberts Auto Plaza of Platte City, MO. While the base cost is $17,200 per unit, the Sheriff's Office has added optional equipment totaling $300 per unit. The cost of removing and installing radio equipment and striping for all unites is anticipated to cost $11,305. All vehicles being replaced will be sent to auction. Jones made a motion to approve the purchase of seven (7) patrol vehicles from Roberts Auto Plaza in the amount of $122,500 and also authorized the expenditure of $11,305 for removal and installation of radio equipment and striping for all the units. Motion was seconded by McElhaney and carried unanimously.
