The Grundy County Commission awarded a bid for the Thompson River Bank Stabilization project during its meeting on Tuesday.
Binder Irrigation Inc. of Table Rock, NE, was awarded the bid, which was the lowest of three received. With two alternates, one for cutting streambanks and the other for adding rip rap to the ditch, the total bid is $616,944. Work on the project, which is being funded through a public-private agreement, is expected to start as soon as possible.
In other business, the commission developed an advertisement for the ambulance director position, which is being changed from a part-time job to a full-time job. The commission also met with Grundy County Emergency Management Director Glen Briggs to discuss the two proposals received for a new 911 radio system. The proposals came from Command 1 LLC, representing Tait and Harris, and from Motorola Solutions, Inc. The systems will be evaluated and scored by the consultant for the project, TUSA, prior to the cost proposals being revealed. The commission will then determine if they can move forward with the project at this time.
