Village approves $96,218 purchase to upfit Unit 29 with crane and hydraulics
Summary
Trustees authorized waiving formal bidding and approved purchase from Linco Equipment via Sourcewell for upfitting a public-works vehicle; manager authorized up to $10,000 in change orders.
The Village Board approved a purchase not to exceed $96,218 to upfit Unit 29 with a crane, hydraulic pump and tank, and a power inverter, and authorized the village manager to approve additional change orders up to $10,000.
Public works staff explained the chassis for the vehicle was received after an order placed in fall 2024 and now requires upfitting for underground maintenance. The staff member said the truck is used for setting fire hydrants and moving 16-inch valves that can weigh up to 1,200 pounds, and that the crane is needed to handle those loads.
The contract will be awarded to Linco Equipment of Maryville, Indiana, through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program; the board voted to waive formal bidding and approved the purchase in committee and at the full board meeting. The roll call on final approval recorded ayes from Trustees Palafis, Stanton, Arnott, Keneen, Mills, Neumann and Mayor McLeod.
The transcript records the equipment list and purpose but does not include delivery schedules, warranty terms, or budget line-item references in the meeting record.
