Summary

Council awarded a $110,172.62 bid for two department vans to Preston CDJR; the electric department will record a $3,636.31 capital overrun covered within departmental budgets.

Seaford — The Mayor and Council voted Sept. 9 to award bids for two department vans (IT and Electric) to Preston Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for $110,172.62.

Staff said two bids were received with a small difference in price; staff recommended Preston CDJR. The city budgeted $112,000 between the two departments. However, staff reported the IT budget had sufficient funds while the Electric Department’s capital budget of $51,450 would incur a $3,636.31 overrun if the purchase is completed as proposed.

"This is a much needed piece of equipment because [the IT coordinator] has way too much in a little tiny vehicle right now," an IT representative said during the presentation. Councilman Bradley moved to award the bid to Preston CDJR; Councilman Holland seconded. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote.

Staff said the vehicles have an 8–10 week lead time. The council did not record a roll-call; the vote was announced as unanimous.
