Loading...
Summary
The commission approved purchase of a 3/4-ton work truck—recommended from Carl Automotive—using the state bid process to replace an older unit; the vehicle was included in the capital budget and the motion passed on a roll-call vote.
The East Grand Forks City Water and Light Commission approved purchase of a new 3/4-ton work truck on March 4, saying the acquisition is part of the utility’s capital budget.
Staff presented bid comparisons obtained through the state contract process and recommended Carl Automotive in Iowa as the best-priced vendor able to deliver the vehicle. Staff said the truck will replace an older 1-ton unit from 1998. A motion to approve the purchase was made, seconded, and passed by roll-call vote.
The staff presentation noted the procurement followed state bid rules and that staff also contacted a local dealership during the process. Commissioners did not request additional alternatives during the meeting.
Next steps: staff will finalize ordering and delivery logistics under the city’s capital budget authorization.
