Olive Branch approves budgeted ambulance purchase and small contract deduction for gas regulator project
Summary
The Board approved purchase of a budgeted ambulance (bid ~ $289,000) and accepted a $960 deductive change order on the TJ Construction contract for the Center Hill gas regulator station; both items were approved by voice vote.
At the Feb. 3 meeting the Olive Branch Board of Aldermen approved two procurement items on voice votes.
The board approved purchasing a budgeted ambulance after staff presented a reverse-auction bid reported at $289,000 and packaging showing a $289,500 purchase amount. The motion to approve was made and seconded and the board voted in favor.
Separately, the board reviewed change order No. 1 to the contract with TJ Construction for the gas regulator station on Center Hill. Staff recommended a deductive adjustment of $960 to the contract—"Reduction in the bid price by $960"—because more material had been bid than was needed. The board approved the recommended reduction by voice vote.
Meeting minutes indicate the board will record these approvals in the official contract and procurement files; no further contract amendments or financial contingencies were discussed in the public portion of the meeting.
