The North Smithfield Town Council voted to award the town's senior transportation services contract to Sincere Transportation after reviewing competing proposals and a staff recommendation. A council member moved to approve the resolution contingent on additional verification of the vendor’s vehicle capacity; the motion passed on roll call.
Town officials said Sincere Transportation’s proposal included more detailed service information than other bidders. Council members noted this was the town’s first time contracting with the company and asked staff to confirm the number and capacity of vehicles before the contract is finalized.
The resolution passed with council authorization for signatures by the town council, the town administrator and the town solicitor. The council recorded an affirmative roll call on the motion.
Next steps: staff will contact Sincere Transportation to verify vehicle capacity and return to council if the vendor cannot meet the town’s operational needs.
