Procurement staff read bids for pipe supplies for the county road department and reported total and line‑item prices from multiple vendors. The recorded totals included a $39,001.00 figure (read as "$39,001.00 $3.20" in the transcript) and a Cherokee vendor entry of $26,001.66 and 56¢. Pomona Pipe Products’ bid—including sales tax—was read as $35,748.85.
Why it matters: pipe materials are routine but essential purchases for road maintenance and repair. Budget officers and road department staff will compare unit pricing, quantity allowances and tax treatment before recommending a vendor.
Staff said some bids included sales tax or provided totals that must be normalized to the county’s procurement evaluation. The staff reader asked procurement reviewers to "go through and make sure we got everything covered." The transcript does not record any award or vote.
Next steps: procurement staff will verify unit prices, confirm whether totals include sales tax, and prepare a recommendation for the governing body.
No formal motions or awards were recorded in the meeting transcript for these pipe supply bids.
