WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS TO CONSIDER PURCHASING POWER RECEPTACLES FOR EMS VEHICLES
Washington County Commissioners will meet Tuesday to consider using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to purchase power receptacles for the fleet of vehicles in the EMS department.
The court will potentially authorize the installation of Kussmaul Auto Eject shore power receptacles in all of the vehicles for EMS, a total of 12 units. The quote for parts and labor from Frazer in Houston totals $39,136.
Commissioners will also review a request from Neyland Bridge Construction for a price increase on its 2022 drive bridge piling contract with the county, which includes all labor and equipment costs associated with authorized county bridge construction.
The adjustment would increase the contract from $350 per hour to $400 per hour. The request is in response to the global increase in fuel, material and labor costs. The contract was awarded on December 28, 2021 and ends effective December 31, 2022.
Also on Tuesday, commissioners will consider:
- A resolution supporting Operation Green Light for veterans.
- Authorizing the county engineer to seek bids for the 2023 annual bid items including drive bridge piling; bulk and fleet fuel; oils, asphalts and emulsions; road construction materials; and steel products.
- Discussion on a formal notice from GeoSouthern Operating II, LLC for a temporary above ground lay flat water line on Wickel and Fuchs Road in Precinct 4.
- Approving the 2023 county holiday schedule.
- Setting the dates and times for commissioners court meetings of 2023 at 9 a.m. on Tuesdays, with the second Tuesday of the month designated as the regular meeting and the first, third, fourth and fifth Tuesdays as special meetings.
Commissioners will meet Tuesday at 9 a.m. at the Washington County Courthouse.
