The commission opened and approved bids for two Chevrolet Tahoe public-safety vehicles from Bachman Commercial Sales and approved a series of payment orders, including $101,489.45 for an emergency generator contractor and a $572,713.47 payout to State Fiber Inc. for broadband work.
Putnam County commissioners opened bids and approved purchases of two Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles for public-safety departments and approved multiple county payment orders, including significant payments tied to capital projects.
Bid openings: County staff reported that General Motors placed public-safety Tahoes on a national allotment and that only certain dealerships could supply the vehicles. The commission received single sealed bids from Bachman Commercial Sales in Louisville, Kentucky, for two Tahoe vehicles: one for the county public-safety department (bid quoted at $57,007.06 as presented) and one for the Putnam County Fire Service (bid quoted at $57,706 as presented). Staff said both bids met specifications and were within budget; motions to approve the bids contingent on staff review carried.
Payment orders: The commission approved several financial orders during the meeting. Notable items included issuance of a check from the general county fund for $101,489.45 payable to Pillar Innovations LLC for payment application number 1 on the Putnam County Emergency Generator Replacement Project, and a disbursement from the Putnam County Network Fund payable to State Fiber Incorporated in the amount of $572,713.47 for payout 14 on the Putnam County fiber-optic broadband project, as presented. Other approved payments included dog-fund veterinary invoices and network-material purchases.
Commissioners asked that staff verify bid and contract compliance where applicable; the vehicle bids were approved "upon review of staff" as presented. Commissioners approved the motions and the associated payment orders as presented on the consent-type votes recorded during the meeting.
