Committee recommends $23,700 contract to sandblast and repaint town rubbish truck
Summary
The Purchasing Committee recommended awarding a $23,700 contract to Intercity Contracting to sandblast and repaint a town rubbish truck, citing corrosion and a desire to extend the vehicle’s service life rather than replace it.
The Purchasing Committee recommended awarding a $23,700 contract to Intercity Contracting to sandblast and repaint a town rubbish truck used by the Department of Public Works.
The committee’s chair introduced the item as a request to waive competitive bidding to preserve one of the town’s ROGS trucks, which staff said is suffering rust and deterioration. “This is a way to keep the truck on the fleet, on the road, at a much more cost efficient,” a staff member said, explaining that four quotes were solicited and that the work would extend the vehicle’s usable life.
Chair confirmed the cost will be covered through Capital Fund 50. A committee member moved to award the contract to Intercity Contracting for $23,700; the committee voted to recommend the award to the council.
The action is a recommendation to the full council; the award will be final if the council approves the contract at its next meeting.
