Chief Harmon - Stated that the BVFD responded to 128 calls in 2012. Vance Payne; Nye County Emergency Services Director - Stated that he must comment on the growth in volunteers participating in emergency services in Beatty; places draw because of their reputation and training but that does not mean anything without approachable people with good leadership skills.

Vance Payne - Thanked the Board for the opportunity to speak with them and went on to say that Beatty has a beautiful shell of an ambulance barn. It is the largest in the County and is planned to be a satellite EOC. To date $441,269.00 has been invested in this building, including the $63,000.00 the Town of Beatty (BTAB) contributed to the project, which was very much appreciated. Nye County Emergency Services has approximately $150,000.00 to finish the inside of the Ambulance Barn.

Mr. Payne

Stated that shortly after he took on his current job he found out that the last bid had failed. He spoke to Judy Dodge (Purchasing) about the first two bid failures, Judy recommended the scope of work be changed. Several people were involved in the rewrite of the scope of working including; Dick Gardner (BTAB), Mike Harmon (BVFD), Allison Henderson (BVAS), and a few others, there were five people involved. In December of 2012 the project went out to bid for the third time, 5 bidders came to the pre-bid meeting, the lowest bid submitted was for $293,000.00 which is a lot more than the $150,00.00 we have to spend.

Mr. Payne-

Stated he and Judy are not sure how to proceed with this project, there are several rules that must be followed including the prevailing wage requirement and lack of licensed contractors in Beatty; both of these issues are making getting this project done a challenge. EG - Stated that besides asking us (the Town/BTAB) for the $63,000.00 contribution to the project, Mr. Payne is the first Nye County Emergency Services Director to come and include the Town on project decisions and challenges and she really appreciates Vance being here and involving the community in the project. DG - Stated he asked Mr. Payne why can’t we as a community do the work and have each phase inspected by Buildings and Grounds or pay a County Inspector to come up and do the inspections. DG - Stated that we do need to get this project done, the building does not do anyone any good just sitting there if it can’t be used; Discussion followed.

Mr. Payne

Stated the rules of the road are hard and unforgiving, as a result of that there is a Community Center sitting as a shell in Gabbs it has been that way for over four years. This is not a new problem for Nye County and it isn’t the first problem for this town. KC - Asked what kind of contractor do we need for this project.

Mr. Payne

Stated we need a contractor licensed to do business in Nevada and Nye County. In order to use volunteers the policy would have to be changed. Commissioner Wichman has spearheaded a campaign to work with the District Attorney to make changes due to similar challenges with the Manhattan Church rehabilitation project. The DA is considering creating a methodology for volunteers to do the work under direction similar to Dick’ suggestion; Discussion followed.

Mr. Payne

Stated that there is a County Staff meeting tomorrow and he plans on being there and will support any discussion about making changes that will allow Volunteers to do the work.

Mr. Payne

Stated he is going to move forward with this, he is not giving up on the project. EG - Stated it has been over five years since Buildings and Grounds stated they would complete the work at the Fire Hall and nothing has been done; Discussion followed.
