Purchasing committee awards RFB for four solid-waste compactors after low bidder found noncompliant
Summary
Director Markham told the purchasing committee that four bids were received for grant-funded compactors; the low bid of $150,009.60 was noncompliant, so the committee recommended awarding the contract to the next responsive bidder, Fleet Genius of North Carolina, at $162,112; the committee approved the award by voice vote.
The Purchasing Committee reviewed a request for bids to buy four solid-waste compactors under a state grant. Director Markham presented the procurement review, saying four bids were submitted and the low bidder at $150,009.60 was found noncompliant with the RFB specifications.
Markham said the second responsive bidder, Fleet Genius of North Carolina, submitted a compliant bid of $162,112 and that the recommended award was within the grant budget. He also explained the grant will fund three compactors and the county will reserve the fourth for a new center when it opens; equipment removed from service will be repurposed for parts and interim needs.
A commissioner moved to approve the recommendation, a second was received, and the committee approved the RFB award by voice vote.
