Council awards bid for one‑ton service truck with plow to IG Burton (Berlin)
Summary
The council unanimously awarded the low bid for a one‑ton service truck with snow plow to IG Burton (Berlin Chevrolet) for $87,656, a purchase within the budgeted $100,000 amount. The public works director recommended purchasing without a trade‑in and retaining the existing truck until the new unit arrives.
The Seaford Mayor and City Council voted unanimously Oct. 28 to award the bid for a one‑ton service truck with snow plow to IG Burton (Berlin Chevrolet) for $87,656.
Public Works Director Burley Meares told council four bids were received and recommended the low bid without a trade‑in; he said the department prefers to keep the existing truck until the new one is available and then sell the old unit directly. The city had budgeted $100,000 for the purchase and staff said the low bid falls within that amount.
Councilman Alan Quillen made the motion to award the bid; Councilman Orlando Holland seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Staff indicated they will proceed with the procurement and attempt to sell the existing truck separately after the new vehicle is delivered.
