[0:00] 30 Verizon Time is the meeting of the Board of Public Works in Safety for the City of Bluffton. June 24, 2025, 430 p.m. All members of the Presence. So therefore, we have a quorum. Are there any additional corrections to the last week? Not to go down previous.
[0:19] is posted new business for end of year up to that first.
[0:36] Keep in mind so that it wouldn't do it when you're doing it live.
[0:46] I've got an invoice that I sent you from Midwest States, and we are looking to purchase the
[0:50] playground that's going to go at the new pool. They indicated to me that if we don't do it
[0:54] before the end of the month that it goes up in price, and I would like to get the best price for
[0:57] it. So they are a source well approved vendor, which means that they are the guaranteed lowest
[1:03] price so I'm just looking for the mission to get it while there's still a savings.
[1:08] Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, we'd like to make a statement. Mid-stage helped us when we did
[1:15] a quick or park out of by Kiana and they are a good, good company.
[1:20] Yeah, they also did our Lancaster Park. They were very good to work with.
[1:23] The only thing I saw in there was free, and it was said it was made of maybe.
[1:28] Yeah, they don't know until they actually ship it because in two months time, we won't even
[1:32] see this till August so we don't pay anything until then and prices could sway in that amount of time so they
[1:38] they won't give me a guaranteed price until it. I mean if it's that kind of money can we pick it up?
[1:43] It's a big piece of equipment. I don't think that we can. Well I mean it's when you put it together but when it's all
[1:49] in pieces when you would need it like a semi I think to bring it. Is it take a 53 footer? I mean I get 53 footers for
[1:56] I think some of that come from different vendors too. I can't. Does it have multiple ships?
[2:04] Yeah. Okay, that would make more sense because I'm thinking me and that seems awful high for Columbus for what it was.
[2:10] Right. Okay, so maybe this slide they source and then they get it from, okay. That makes a lot more sense.
[2:14] The pricing looked good and then the deal that they were going to do, I just question them for you a little bit.
[2:18] But if it is multiple vendors, then that would make a lot more sense.
[2:24] So I mean, we went pick the fire truck up.
[2:26] enough we'd go to Columbus, pick up a couple slides and don't ask don't get.
[2:32] If you would fit on the fire curtain.
[2:35] We could just get it out and everyone.
[2:39] Yeah.
[2:39] Where are we pulling the money from?
[2:42] What a what a calendar are we going to?
[2:43] You would be from the donations that we didn't offer.
[2:46] We didn't offer it to the poor project.
[2:48] And then that we up the most.
[2:50] Who ever wanted the answer to that?
[2:52] Well, so it'll be from the foundation then, right?
[2:56] We've pulled everything over, so that's here now, and we've got an account set up.
[3:01] And they've already received it from them.
[3:02] We already received it, and none of this will be even build until we get the product on site.
[3:08] So it won't even happen until we've started.
[3:09] So this is just the order to lock it in.
[3:11] The order to lock it in, we get the best price.
[3:13] Nice, and then we'll be still on the pay for it either.
[3:15] That's cool.
[3:15] Not for a long time though.
[3:16] I'm good.
[3:18] Thank you.
[3:19] Thanks, Bernie.
[3:20] Good.
[3:21] Even better.
[3:35] Just in King's been with the city for 21 years one of our top linemen, and I'd like to get him a dollar race
[3:43] Good job, he does. Yeah, appreciate it. Thanks, friend. Thank you.
[3:49] Jay, Tony.
[3:54] I'm here to get a merit race for Steve Brock. He just finished it finishes 26 or 20 20 if you're sorry
[4:02] I'm asking for 96 cents and I'll take him to the top by an operator pay.
[4:08] Yep.
[4:08] Sounds good to him.
[4:09] Thank you.
[4:12] Anything else to come before the board at this time?
[4:18] If not, we will stand adjourned at 434 p.m.
[4:22] And I think that's your record.
