Council awards generator maintenance and cleanup‑week contracts
Summary
Seaford City Council unanimously approved two procurement awards: a generator maintenance contract to Premium Power Services LLC for $5,997 and cleanup‑week services to Casella for $26,600. Council discussed scope for dumpster 'pulls' and updated coverage for a recently added firehouse generator.
The Seaford City Council voted unanimously to award two contracts brought forward by the director of public works.
The council approved a generator maintenance contract with Premium Power Services LLC for $5,997 and an hourly rate of $135 for additional work. The city received a single bid for generator maintenance; the public‑works director recommended the incumbent vendor, and council moved and seconded the award during the meeting.
Council members confirmed the prior contract length and that the bid documents had been updated to include a newly installed generator at the firehouse. A council member asked how long the previous contract lasted and was told it had been a three‑year contract.
The council also approved cleanup‑week services, awarding the contract to low bidder Casella in the amount of $26,600. City staff explained the payment structure: the contractor delivers five dumpsters to the wastewater treatment facility and the city loads and transports material; payment is calculated by the number of dumpster "pulls," the actual disposal rate set by the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, and labor/vehicle costs included in the bid. The public‑works director said the estimate for the event was about 30 pulls.
Both motions passed by voice vote; the meeting record shows the votes were called and the motions passed unanimously. The council did not record individual roll‑call tallies in the transcript.
