(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners approved the purchase of a new wheel loader through Sourcewell when they met Wednesday.

The loader will be purchased from Murphy Tractor & Equipment of Lincoln at a cost of $210,500.

In all four bids were received. The lowest bid was from A1 Iron Corporation at $197,303.

Commissioners also authorized advertising for sealed bids to be opened April 30, for the Falls City Southwest pipe replacement project.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty updated the Board on a project at the Law Enforcement Center. The Sheriff said Electronic Contracting Company is completing the electrical improvement project and plans to have it completed on or before May 3.

For the past week, inmates have been housed in other facilities. Plans called for the inmates to be returned to Richardson County by this past Friday.

With the inmates out of the cell areas, the staff has been doing painting, making repairs and cleaning the jail facility.

Commissioners also met with Jeremy Ingraham of Burlington, Junction, Missouri who owns a parcel of real estate in the Lewis and Clark Estates area southeast of Rulo. Ingraham discussed the discovery he and his wife have made with regards to FEMA restrictions which do not allow for any new construction to be made on that parcel.
