• Accepted Building Solutions of Dodge City's bid to build a new aircraft rescue and firefighting facility at Dodge City Regional Airport for $1.56 million.
The commission also accepted Burns and McDonnell's bid to provide construction services for the project for $245,027, raising the total cost to $1.80 million.
The facility would accommodate up to four full-time firefighters to perform emergency crash and rescue operations at the airport, according to a memo from airport manager Mike Klein. The facility will not be manned at present, but staffing will depend on future needs and federal requirements.
The city is seeking a $1.71 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration for the project and is willing to supply $90,479 toward the total cost.
• Authorized city officials to seek bids for a new 1,500-gallon aircraft rescue and firefighting truck for the airport.
The city is seeking an $815,567 federal grant for the project and is willing to cover $42,925 of the total cost.
• Authorized the city to distribute money from the drug and alcohol surtax fund to four programs, which will use the money to help fight drug and alcohol abuse.
The programs and their amounts they will receive are: Friends of Recovery, $3,000 for Oxford Houses in Dodge City; Catholic Social Services, $9,000 for drug and alcohol evaluations and assessments; New Chance, $37,500 for alcohol and addiction services; and Area Mental Health, $15,500 for dual-diagnosis treatment for severe mental illness and drug and alcohol programs.
