Glendale council reviews Proceed Solutions bid for cemetery fence, tables decision
Summary
Council reviewed a written bid from Proceed Solutions (Chad Spencer) that listed a full-chain-link fence price and smaller front/back options, raised concerns about mobilization and materials costs, and asked staff to negotiate and return with revised quotes at the next meeting.
At the Feb. 20 Glendale Town Council meeting members reviewed a written bid from Proceed Solutions (identified in the meeting as Chad Spencer) for a chain-link fence around the town cemetery and decided to table a final vote while staff negotiate price and seek additional quotes.
The written bid discussed in the meeting included a price the council read aloud for “all of it” at about $43,000 and a front-and-back-only option listed at about $22,000. During the discussion council members questioned mobilization and demolition charges (several figures, including $2,500 and $5,000, were mentioned during the back-and-forth) and asked whether the town could purchase materials tax exempt and pay a labor-only price to reduce cost.
Councilmembers also discussed whether local contractors who had not submitted bids might do the work and asked the clerk to re-solicit or extend the bidding period if necessary. The council instructed staff to contact Proceed Solutions to negotiate both a lower total and a labor-only option, and to return the item to the agenda at the next regular meeting for a formal vote.
No final award or contract was approved at the Feb. 20 meeting; the council opted to negotiate and compare quotes before committing town funds.
