Northwell OKs $60,742 salt spreader purchase under Sourcewell contract
Summary
The Village Board approved buying a V-box salt spreader from Monroe Truck Equipment for $60,742 under a Sourcewell cooperative contract; the purchase is within the $65,000 budget and the spreader can be reinstalled on future trucks.
The Northwell Village Board on June 2 approved the purchase of a new V-box salt spreader from Monroe Truck Equipment for $60,742, using the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract, the board was told. Bridal, a staff member, presented the item and said the purchase is within the current budgeted amount.
Bridal explained that the spreader will replace equipment on truck 180, a roll-off system that allows a truck to carry a leaf collection box, a wood chipper box, a brine spraying tank and a dump box. "Currently, we have 65,000 budgeted for this purchase. The staff is recommending purchasing the v box spreader from Monroe truck equipment in the amount of $60,742," Bridal said. The staff noted the spreader can be reused and reinstalled on a future truck when truck 180 is retired.
Why it matters: the replacement addresses worn equipment used in winter operations and is covered by an established cooperative purchasing contract, which can shorten procurement timelines and provide pricing certainty.
Board action: trustees recorded unanimous approval of the purchase in a roll-call vote (6-0). The transcript does not show additional conditions or a delivery timeline for the new spreader.
