(KMZA)--Two road improvement projects are planned in Nemaha County.
The County Commission this week accepted a bid of just over $587,000 from Bergcamp Construction, of Wichita, to add concrete into the base of a 2 ½ mile stretch of the Fidelity Road and 4 ½ mile portion of the Sabetha-Wetmore Road.
The purpose of the reconditioning process is for road stabilization.
In other action, Sheriff Rich Vernon presented three bids to Commissioners for the purchase of a new patrol vehicle.
The Commission voted to accept the low bid submitted by Nemaha Valley Motors, of Seneca, for a 2018 1500 Dodge 4 X 4 crewcab in the amount of $28,250. The bid does not include a trade-in.
Bids were also received from Aberle Ford, of Sabetha, and Honeyman Ford, of Seneca.
Vernon says he has made arrangements to sell the current 2008 pickup truck to the Hiawatha Police Department for $12,000 when the new pickup is delivered.
