Whitehouse council approves purchase of budgeted public service truck
Summary
Council approved the purchase of a budgeted public service truck after Public Works Director Mike Hill reported Bauman's submitted the lowest quote and a 3–4 month lead time; the motion passed, 5 ayes.
The Village of Whitehouse Committee of the Whole voted Feb. 10 to approve the purchase of a public service truck that was included in this year’s budget. Public Works Director Mike Hill told the council that Bauman's submitted the lowest bid and that a third requested quote did not respond; he said the truck has an expected lead time of about "3-4 months."
Councilwoman Carrie Tuohy moved to approve the purchase and Councilwoman Louann Artiaga seconded; the motion passed unanimously with five ayes (Riggenbach, Artiaga, Tuohy, Bublick, Fine). The council did not discuss the purchase price during the public discussion; Hill said the purchase was included in the approved budget but did not state a dollar figure at the meeting.
Council members placed the purchase on the consent of the committee by approving the motion; staff will proceed with procurement and monitor the manufacturer's lead time and delivery schedule.
