Pulaski board approves multiple procurement steps, refers several bids to city administration
Summary
The board authorized advertising for three patrol cars, approved sale of a sludge bin, referred several equipment bids to the city administrator for approval, and authorized staff to purchase turnout gear subject to administrator/chief coordination.
At its Aug. 12 meeting the Pulaski Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved several procurement and bid actions across multiple departments.
Police vehicles: The board authorized advertising for three patrol cars that are in the budget. The motion to authorize advertisement was moved and seconded and approved by roll call.
Wastewater equipment: The board approved placing a surplus sludge bin from the wastewater treatment plant on the state surplus site (GovDeals) for sale. Staff said the unit is modified and likely has limited resale value; the board moved to advertise and sell the item and approved that action by roll call.
Vehicle bids: The gas department received a single bid for a 1.5-ton pickup (a 2026 Ford F-450) from Sharp Motor Company for $71,602.76. The board voted to return the bid to the city administrator for approval.
Parks backstop: The Sam Davis Baseball Park backstop opening received one bid, from Murray Fence Company, for $12,369. The board referred the bid and contract approval to the city administrator and Parks and Recreation staff.
Turnout gear for fire department: The board received two bids for turnout gear (20 sets). A bid from Safe Industries (Murfreesboro) totaled $68,990 and a bid from Naveco (Decatur) totaled $73,420. The board approved authority for the city administrator and the fire chief to work together to purchase turnout gear; staff said the city will buy half the units this fiscal year and the other half next year and that current budgeted funds cover this year’s share.
All actions were approved by roll call. Several items were referred to the city administrator or city staff for final approval and procurement processing.
Action taken: authorized advertisement for patrol cars; approved sale of sludge bin; referred vehicle and construction bids to administrator for approval; authorized administrator/chief to purchase turnout gear.
