Commissioners find no bids on wheelchair lift; approve tower battery purchase with Act 13 funds
Summary
The board was told there were no bids for the recreation center wheelchair lift and agreed to negotiate privately; commissioners approved a purchase of Power Sonic 12-volt SLA batteries paid from Act 13 funds, with the quoted dollar amount unclear in the transcript.
During old business the treasurer reported there were no bids submitted for the wheelchair lift for the recreation center. The chair and commissioners agreed there was no need to open bids and that staff should negotiate privately for the project.
On a separate procurement item, a motion was made and seconded to approve a quote for Power Sonic 12-volt sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries to be paid with Act 13 funds. The motion passed by voice vote after the chair asked, "All in favor?" and commissioners responded affirmatively.
The transcript records the quoted amount as "$1,33328," which is unclear in formatting and not verbally resolved at the meeting; the record did not include a roll-call tally. The county stated the purchase will use Act 13 funds allocated for tower battery rotation and that the vendor waived labor for an additional site, producing a cost savings compared with delaying the work.
The chair asked for a motion to adjourn later in the meeting and commissioners approved the adjournment.
Actions recorded in the meeting: the board agreed to negotiate privately for the wheelchair lift project after receiving no bids, and approved the battery purchase using Act 13 funds. No roll-call vote was transcribed for either item.
