Troy council OKs three-year fleet maintenance contract, caps annual cost at $450,000

Troy — The Troy City Council adopted Resolution R292025 on a unanimous roll call, authorizing the Director of Public Service and Safety to advertise for bids and enter into a three-year contract for a fleet maintenance program with up to two additional one‑year renewals and a cost not to exceed $450,000 per year.

The finance committee reported to council that contracting out fleet maintenance is estimated to cost less than doing the work in‑house. “It is estimated that the cost to contract fleet maintenance is less than the cost to perform this work in house,” Finance Committee chair Mister Sievert said during the committee report.

Council members moved to suspend the rule to consider the resolution tonight; the motion to adopt was made by Mister Seabert and seconded by Mister Twist. Missus Knight called a roll that recorded affirmative votes from the councilmembers present and the clerk declared R292025 adopted.

The resolution authorizes advertisement for bids and empowers the director of public service and safety to enter the contract if terms meet the parameters set by council. The finance committee recommended the legislation after meeting May 27; committee members named in the report included Mister Schilling and Missus Westfall, with Sievert presenting the recommendation.

No additional details about a preferred contractor, procurement timeline, or proposed contractor selection criteria were provided during the meeting. The resolution text read in council specifies the fiscal cap ($450,000 per calendar year) and the potential contract term (three years plus up to two one‑year extensions).

The resolution will proceed to procurement steps overseen by the director of public service and safety; council did not attach additional conditions on selection during the meeting.

Council documents read into the record identify the item as R292025; the clerk confirmed the roll call and adoption at the meeting.
