Hampshire board authorizes up to $130,748 for snowplow truck upfit
Summary
Trustees authorized a contract not to exceed $130,748 to secure a build slot and price lock for a 2025 Freightliner snowplow upfit, with staff noting the payment will be charged in the fiscal year when work is completed; the motion passed 6‑0.
The Village of Hampshire approved a resolution authorizing an expenditure not to exceed $130,748 to upfit a snowplow truck and lock a build slot for a 2025 Freightliner.
Public works staff explained the quote is valid through Feb. 4, 2025, and that approving the upfit secures the price even if the truck is manufactured and delivered later. The village will incur the expense in the budget year when the work takes place; staff estimated delivery could align with the end of the fiscal year or early fiscal year 2026 depending on manufacturing schedules.
Trustees asked whether approving the contract legally obligates the village to pay before the budget year; staff said the actual expenditure will post to the year the work occurs and that the vendor honors the quoted price once the board approves. The board approved the resolution by roll call 6‑0.
