Supervisors ask staff to clarify snow-removal bids after review of competing quotes
Summary
County staff presented competing snow-removal and lawn-care bids, including a $1,330 per removal figure and an annual estimate of roughly $10,545; supervisors asked staff to return with apples-to-apples comparisons and both vendor numbers for next week's meeting.
County staff reviewed bids for snow removal and related services for county buildings and grounds and provided preliminary cost comparisons.
Speaker 6 summarized bids for all county buildings, stating a per-removal quote of "$1,330 per snow removal" and noting a courthouse/year total listed as $10,545. Speaker 6 also described a lawn-care option that, if multiplied by 25 visits per season, produced an estimate of about $19,000.
Board members asked for clarification so the bids could be compared on the same basis. Speaker 5 recommended presenting both vendor numbers and a not-to-exceed figure and asked staff to bring the clarified numbers back to the board next week. Speaker 6 agreed to confirm the calculations and return with both vendor quotes.
No formal procurement award was made at the meeting; the board directed staff to return with clarified, comparable bids before taking formal action.
