The Livingston County Board of Commissioners convened on September 22, 2025, to discuss key resolutions, including the replacement of the fire suppression system at the transportation complex and a new agreement for propane fuel services for transit vehicles.
The meeting began with a resolution to authorize the replacement of the fire suppression system, presented by Commissioner Deaton. The motion received unanimous support, passing with a 9 to 0 voice vote. During the discussion, concerns were raised regarding the significant disparity in bids for the project, with one bidder proposing $35,000 and another at $194,000. Director Kellogg noted that after reviewing the bids, there were no substantial differences in the products offered. It was suggested that some bidders may submit inflated bids if they are not genuinely interested in the project.
Following this, the board moved on to a resolution authorizing an agreement with Corrigan Propane LLC for LPG fuel services for transit vehicles. Commissioner Deaton again moved the resolution, which was supported by Commissioner Domus. Questions arose regarding the propane capacity in the buses, with clarification provided that the usable capacity varies between 40 to 90 gallons depending on the tank size.
Commissioner Piani inquired about the bid tabulation for propane deliveries, which indicated only three delivery dates over a five-year period. It was clarified that these dates were used for price comparison purposes, and actual deliveries would occur every few days.
The meeting concluded with both resolutions passing smoothly, reflecting the board's commitment to maintaining essential services and infrastructure in Livingston County.
