Summary
The council accepted vendor quotes for Public Works equipment — a 2026 Chevy Silverado (≤$40,398.32) and an end loader plow blade (≤$44,500) — and awarded street striping and multiple material/equipment bids to local contractors.
The Medford Common Council on March 23 approved several Public Works equipment purchases and awarded bids for street maintenance and materials.
Council accepted Wheelers of Medford’s quote for a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado not to exceed $40,398.32, with funds to come from the DPW Construction Equipment fund (account #43-56320-39410). Clem Johnson moved and Ken Coyer seconded the motion; the minutes record the motion as carried.
The council also approved McCoy Construction and Forestry’s quote for an end loader plow blade not to exceed $44,500, funded from the same DPW account; that motion was moved by Clem Johnson and seconded by Christine Weix and carried.
For street maintenance, the council awarded the 2026 street striping contract to Jensen Chip & Seal Coating at a cost not to exceed $13,875.40; funding was included in the 2026 General Fund budget. The material and equipment bid awards — which list vendors and unit rates for concrete, washed rock, backhoe and bulldozer hourly rates, truck & driver rates, and related items — were awarded to vendors including Haas Sons, Francis Melvin, Precision Dirtworks, and Wood & Sons as listed in the minutes. A motion to award the listed Public Works material and equipment bids was made by Dave J. Brandner and seconded by Christine Weix; the motion carried.
The minutes record vendor names and unit prices/rates but do not include full contract documents or estimated total project costs beyond the line items recorded in the bid tables.
