As the initial hubbub from the bidding wars dies down, it’s now down to a matter of numbers for Beaver County in the case of purchasing new radio equipment. The preliminary estimates for each municipality were released on Wednesday at the Commissioners’ work session, presented by Solicitor Garen Fedeles.

“Some of these amounts,” Fedeles stated, “especially for the fire departments, are between twenty and forty-some thousand dollars for the various departments. I don’t know if, once they see the number, if this is something that they’re going to stick with.”

Fedeles said that the law department will be seeking responses from municipalities with a tentative deadline of the end of May.
