The Walker County Commissioners Court approved awarding the purchase of a Bomag single-drum roller for Precinct 2 at its special call meeting Friday.
Commissioner, Precinct 2 recommended accepting bid number 1764 as the primary award and using an identified secondary bid if the primary unit was not available. "I'd like to take bid number 1764, for the Bomag roll for $77.05 that's delivered," Commissioner, Precinct 2 said in the record; the presiding officer later referenced a primary bid amount of "$77,500" during the motion. Commissioner, Precinct 2 also recommended taking bid 1762 (referred to in the discussion as a fallback), and the presiding officer stated that if the primary was not available the court would "roll to bid number 1782 as a secondary bid." The transcript contains inconsistent numeric transcriptions for the bid numbers and dollar amounts.
Commissioner, Precinct 2 moved to award the purchase and Commissioner, Precinct 1 seconded. After brief confirmation of the amounts and no further comment, the court voted in favor and the motion passed. The presiding officer thanked attendees and the meeting proceeded to adjournment.
