Recommended bid awards for two projects in Hays will be presented to the city commission during its meeting today.
Jeff Crispin, water resources director, will talk about the 2025 sanitary sewer cleaning and inspection program.
The low bid for light cleaning and video inspection of about 20 miles of sewer line was from CC Steel, LLC, North Dakota, for $145,022.
Replacement of the playground equipment at Massey Park, 17th and Allen, will be discussed by Jeff Boyle, parks director.
The selection committee reviewed all of the proposals and recommended approval of the Aspire 2 Play for $119,363. Boyle said the playground unit would be unlike any other in Hays.
The existing playground at Massey Park was installed in 2002.
Jesse Rohr, public works director, will also present a proposal for consent to vacate annexation, or deannex, the plat of DK Ranch Addition west of Columbine Drive in anticipation of the planned Smoky Hill Plains Addition housing development.
The complete Oct. 16 agenda is available here.
The meeting begins at 4 p.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.
