Anderson City approves Station 6 roof replacement and purchase of a UTV for event use
Summary
The board approved a $18,980 roof replacement at Station 6 and authorized purchase of a utility task vehicle (UTV) to replace a failed 1981 event cart, selecting a local vendor's quote of $17,400.
The Anderson City Safety Board approved a $18,980 quote from Isaac's Home Improvement to replace the roof at Station 6 and accepted a $17,400 quote from Bindles for a new UTV to replace an aging event cart.
The fire chief told the board the Station 6 roof quote from Isaac's Home Improvement had been provided “in front of you” and noted the vendor has previously done station roofs. After brief discussion about likely sheathing replacement, a board member moved to accept the $18,980 estimate and the motion was approved with recorded “yes” votes from David and Chairman McKinley.
The fire department reported an event cart believed to date from 1981 had failed and presented two quotes for a modern UTV that can be fitted with a stretcher and EMS equipment. The board selected the lower-priced quote from Bindles (noted in the transcript as under new ownership) by vote. The chief said the lower quote coupled with an existing service plan made Bindles the better value for the department.
Both purchases were presented as single-vendor estimates; the transcript does not show competitive-bid documentation or contract numbers. The board set no further fiscal conditions in the meeting transcript.
