Glen Ridge awards $45,004.62 contract for tire‑mounting and balancing equipment
Summary
Councilor Tierrajano presented and the council approved Resolution 72‑26 to purchase a Mohawk tire mounting machine and a Roadforce tire balancing machine and accessories from Mobile Cliffs LLC for $45,004.62 through the state cooperative purchasing program; the CFO certified capital funding.
The Glen Ridge council voted to award a procurement contract through the state cooperative purchasing program to Mobile Cliffs LLC for tire‑mounting and balancing equipment and accessories in the amount of $45,004.62 under Resolution 72‑26.
Councilor Tierrajano described the equipment as replacement machinery needed by the Department of Public Works and said the purchase used a state contract (spot 75) so competitive bidding was not required. He said the CFO certified available funds drawn from capital ordinances (sets 17, 18 and 18‑24 were referenced in the presentation).
The motion to approve Resolution 72‑26 was moved and seconded, the clerk called the roll, and the mayor announced the motion carried. Councilors characterized the purchase as a cost‑effective way to maintain the borough’s vehicle fleet.
The contract award will allow the public‑works shop to bring tire mounting and balancing in‑house rather than traveling to outside vendors; the council did not attach conditions to the approval during the meeting.
