Streets & Sanitation committee accepts lone paving bid from Tinsley, declares equipment surplus
Summary
The McMinnville Streets & Sanitation committee voted to accept a single paving bid from Tinsley and to declare several pieces of public-works equipment surplus, authorizing disposal. Committee members discussed modest price differences from last year and potential purchase of a smaller dump truck in next year’s budget.
The Streets & Sanitation committee voted to accept the sole bid for this year’s paving work from Tinsley and approved declaring several pieces of equipment surplus.
Committee staff reported that Tinsley was the only contractor to bid on the paving project this year and that the company’s prices were slightly lower on some line items compared with last year while hauling costs had increased. A motion to accept the bid was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Staff also listed surplus items for disposal, including an older street sweeper, a Ford dump truck described in the meeting as worn out, a boom mower that has not yet arrived, and replacement units (freightliner and others). The committee voted to declare those assets surplus and authorize sale or disposal. Committee members discussed funding and said a smaller dump truck could be considered in next year’s budget rather than purchased immediately.
The committee chair closed the committee meeting after noting there was no further business.
