DPW Committee recommends Greystone salt‑barn quote, asks Council to approve $51,000 budget
Summary
The Village of Farwell DPW Committee on April 17 recommended the Greystone salt‑barn quote of $44,245 and asked the Village Council to approve the budgeted $51,000 to cover trucking and concrete blocks for installation.
The Village of Farwell Department of Public Works (DPW) Committee recommended on April 17 that the Village Council approve the Greystone salt‑barn quote of $44,245 and authorize the budgeted amount of $51,000 to cover trucking and the purchase of blocks. DPW Supervisor Jason Walters presented three quotes and told the committee the larger, budgeted figure would cover anticipated transportation and material costs.
The committee said it would forward the Greystone quote to the Village Council for formal approval. Approving the budgeted $51,000 would leave margin above the $44,245 bid to pay for trucking and concrete blocks needed for the salt storage structure. The committee did not record a formal vote in the minutes; instead, the minutes state the group "would like to recommend" the Greystone quote to Council for approval.
Why it matters: a secured salt barn stores road salt for winter maintenance; approving the quote and budget would allow procurement and site preparation to proceed before the next winter season. The committee’s referral means the Village Council must act before DPW can contract with Greystone.
The committee’s recommendation was recorded during New Business and will be placed on the Council agenda for consideration.
