Perry County commissioners tabled the county supply bids and fuel bids at their Dec. 31 meeting after county staff reported that a vendor had not responded to questions necessary for award consideration.

Speaker 1 noted that a rock-purchasing spreadsheet had been circulated and that the fuel bid packet included an option from a vendor called Synergy. The board discussed fixed and flex pricing options; Speaker 1 said a fixed-price diesel bid previously offered at a much lower number was no longer available and that current fixed pricing was reported in the packet. Because vendor Andrew had not answered follow-up questions, Speaker 1 moved to table the supply bids until the next meeting. Speaker 3 seconded and the board voted to table the bids.

The board set the next meeting for Jan. 5 at 9:00 a.m., at which staff expects to report vendor responses and additional bid details.
