Commissioners approve recommendation to award GMC truck bid
Summary
Bids for a county GMC truck were announced; the commissioners accepted staff's recommendation favoring the GMC bid (Faulkner) citing local service, fleet compatibility and warranty, and voted to approve proceeding with the award.
County staff announced bids for a GMC truck and recommended awarding to the local Faulkner bid on the basis of local service availability, compatibility with the existing fleet and a potentially longer manufacturer warranty.
The transcript shows Faulkner submitted a bid for $50,525 and Rexford Ford submitted a lower bid of $50,006.52. County staff and commissioners discussed the trade-offs and one commissioner recommended following the local bid recommendation. A motion to award was made, seconded and commissioners recorded unanimous 'aye' votes.
The commissioners did not provide contract details in the meeting record; staff indicated a formal award or contract would be finalized outside the meeting and returned to the board as needed.
