Summary
Bids for pipe and related supplies for the road department were read into the record; Cherokee Culvert and Pomona Pipe Products supplied differing totals and sales‑tax treatments that staff said reviewers should check.
During the meeting, staff read bids for pipe supplies intended for the road department and provided vendor totals and line items. Staff reported a total figure for one combined submission of $39,001.20 and then read vendor‑by‑vendor subtotals.
Among the proposals, Cherokee Culvert’s total was read as $26,001.66 and 56¢; Pomona Pipe Products’ price after sales tax was read as $35,748.85. Staff noted that some vendors’ submissions include sales tax in the figure shown to the meeting and that reviewers should confirm which amounts reflect the vendor bid net of taxes.
No formal award or vote was recorded in the transcript; the items were presented for review and follow up by staff and reviewers. Staff asked reviewers to verify the line‑items and whether the totals represented unit pricing aggregated or an overall bid.
Background detail read into the record included price breakdown discussion and confirmation that bids sometimes list per‑item prices rather than a single aggregate total, which affects comparison. The meeting concluded that staff and reviewers should confirm tax treatment and per‑unit pricing before recommending an award.
