Pottawatomie County Commissioners approved the final design and specifications for the Public Works Fleet Maintenance Facility during their meeting Monday.
These were brought to the commission last week but weren’t approved due to some concerns about finances and aspects of the design.
“The first one was where does our current CIP (capital improvement plan) Fund sit financially?” Peter Clark, the public works director for Pottawatomie County, said. “How much money do we have? Where will we be at the end of the year in that fund after some of our projected transfers? And the last question was related to some particular points in the design, specifically about how the CMU wall on the exterior would interact with the foundation relative to moisture penetration.”
Clark says these issues were satisfactorily addressed and the project can now move on to the next phase.
The project will be advertised for construction bids on January 6th during the county commission’s weekly meeting.
