Board reviews quotes for 2025 maintenance truck; spreader costs discussed
Summary
District staff presented two like‑for‑like quotes for a 2025 Ford maintenance truck, both with stainless‑steel salt‑spreader attachments; board members asked for clarified documentation and price pages before final award.
Staff presented two vendor quotes for a 2025 district maintenance truck and the accompanying salt‑spreader attachments and asked the board to review the documentation before awarding a purchase.
The Staff member said the district received proposals from Jim Sharkey and Laurel Ford for a 2025 Ford model with super cab configuration. “They're both for super cabs,” Presenter said, and both quotes include an attachment for a stainless‑steel salt spreader. Board members emphasized they wanted like‑for‑like comparisons before deciding on an award.
Members noted discrepancies between quote versions, including differences in year labels and line‑item placement for the spreader. Presenter pointed to a spreader price listed on page 4 at roughly $23,000 and urged staff (Jamie) to clarify which totals include the spreader and to correct any page references so the board can compare the full out‑the‑door costs.
No purchase award was made at the meeting; the board asked staff to update and re‑present the bid documents, clarifying which quotes and line items correspond to each vendor so the district can complete a like‑for‑like procurement comparison.
