Board approves sole complete quote for 2025–26 sidewalk snow removal
Summary
The Board of Public Works approved the only complete quote received for the citywide 2025–26 sidewalk snow-removal contract after staff said the solicitation produced three expressions of interest but only one formal bid.
The Board of Public Works voted Nov. 17 to approve the only complete quote submitted for the citywide 2025–26 sidewalk snow-removal contract.
Director Gallagher moved for approval and outlined the procurement process: the city posted the solicitation on its online quote-and-bid service Oct. 23 with a three-week reply period and ran a Class 1 notice in the newspaper Oct. 28. Gallagher said three contractors expressed interest, two contractors pulled the plans but did not submit bids, and only one complete quote was received; he recommended approval of that sole quote.
Council President Dickinson said he "needed to do a little homework" and confirmed the company has handled the city's snow removal for the past three years; he voiced support for the recommendation. The board voted and the motion passed unanimously.
The transcript does not record the vendor's name, the dollar amount of the quote, or the contract start date; those details were not specified in the meeting record. The board's approval authorizes staff to proceed with the recommended quote according to normal procurement procedures.
