Reno Co. Commission to take action on flood repairs

Posted May 02, 2020 11:00 AM

SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Repair work will be getting underway along a portion of 82nd Avenue that was damaged by last year’s flooding.

The continuous flooding during the summer caused large areas of land along 82nd near Wilson Road to wash away and damaged the roadbed.

Public Works will be before county commissioners on Tuesday asking them to approve a contract with Theis Dozer Service Inc. to make the repairs at a cost of $127,365.

Also Tuesday, the board will get the weekly update from Emergency Management Director Adam Weishaar and Health Department Director Nick Baldetti on the pandemic, and seek approval of an engineering contract with Kirkham, Michael and Associates for work on annual federal aid funds for various road and bridge inventory work. The cost would be $32,226 if approved.

Tuesday’s Reno County Commission meeting begins at 9 a.m. and will be streamed online.
