Committee advances one-year, no-cost extension for vehicle repair contract to formal session
Summary
The committee moved an amendment extending the Bob Maxey vehicle-repair contract through June 30, 2026, with no increase in the $939,000 total and about $477,000 remaining on the contract.
The committee voted to send an amendment extending the Bob Maxey light-duty vehicle repair contract to formal session with a recommendation for approval. The amendment extends the contract term by one year but does not increase the contract amount.
The packet identifies Contractor Bob Maxey at 1833 East Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, Michigan. The previous contract period was listed as July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025; the amendment extends the period through June 30, 2026. The packet lists a total contract amount of $939,000 and a total contract increase amount of $0.00.
Members asked whether the contract will be rebid before the extended expiration. Alex Weatherup, assistant director for the General Services Department, said the city “will usually start a rebid process a few months before expiration,” and that the department has been using the contract less aggressively than anticipated. When asked whether the current dollars are sufficient, Weatherup said, “Through the chair, we have about 477,000 left on this contract,” indicating roughly half of the total remains available.
A motion to move the amendment (line item 6.5) to formal session with record dates for approval was made and placed on the agenda for the full council; no formal committee vote on final approval was recorded at the meeting.
The committee did not authorize any additional funds; the amendment as proposed is time-only and retains the existing $939,000 ceiling.
