Summary

Putnam County received two bids for a shelter industrial washer and dryer and voted to accept the low bid from Charan Equipment Company, pending staff review for compliance with bid requirements.

Putnam County opened bids on Aug. 26 for an industrial washing machine and dryer for the county animal shelter and received two proposals. Alliance Laundry Systems East submitted a bid of $29,052.25; Charan Equipment Company submitted a low bid of $18,454.11.

A county procurement staff member asked time to review the bids for compliance with the solicitation. Commissioners moved to accept the low bidder conditionally, pending staff review of the bid documents and verification that the low bid meets all bid requirements. The motion passed by voice vote.

County staff will complete the bid review and report back to the commission if any irregularities are found or if final award should be rescinded. The conditional approval allows staff to begin contract processing if the low bid is verified as responsive and responsible.
