(KLZA)--The Nemaha Natural Resources Board of Directors reviewed quotes for the installation of two picnic shelters at the new Duck Creek Recreation Area near Peru when they met October 12th.
The shelters are part of the public recreation component at the multi-purpose flood control project slated to open next year. A contract with Elk Creek Engineering to provide material and labor to erect the shelters was approved. Total cost for each shelter, with a concrete pad is estimated at $11,500. That figure was well below three other quotes submitted.
In addition, with the opening of the Duck Creek Recreation area in 2018, the Board discussed changes that might be needed in the recreation rules for the new area. Fees in place for park entry permits and electrical RV camping rates at the four current parks were also reviewed. A public hearing will be necessary when any changes are determined.
The Board also awarded bids for repair work on two watershed dams. Replacement of the riser and spillway tube will be required on both projects. B.A.B. Inc. from Adams submitted the low bid for each project, $38,263 for a project near Adams and $44,168 for a project near Syracuse.
Purchase of a jet pump to be uSed in watershed dam maintenance was approved. The Spartan Tool Company form Kansas City, Missouri submitted a bid of nearly $18,400 ($18,393) for a model, which is used to unplug drawdown pipes on dams.
