Commission tables downtown sweeping contract pending more information
Summary
After discussion and objections from a commissioner, the commission approved a friendly amendment to table item concerning Champion Power Sweeping until additional information is obtained, delaying any contract award for downtown sweeping.
The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to table the Champion Power Sweeping line item from the 'purchases and payment of invoices' agenda until further information is available.
Commissioners discussed whether the line-item award should proceed now or be reopened to bidding. One commissioner said they were "not comfortable with voting for that" contractor and indicated they would vote no if the item remained as presented. A friendly amendment was offered to table item number 3, Champion Power Sweeping, "until further information can be obtained," and the amendment was seconded and carried by roll call.
City staff said Champion Power Sweeping was the only bidder for the downtown maintenance sweeping contract and that the company's current contract ends at the end of this month. Commissioners who favored tabling said they wanted time to gather additional information before awarding a new contract.
Action: The commission approved the friendly amendment to table the Champion Power Sweeping item; staff will return with more information before awarding a new contract.
