Trustees approve partial payment for new road truck and record squad/aerial equipment purchases
Summary
Norwich Township recorded bids and authorized partial payments: trustees paid most of a new road truck and recorded lone bid for a new squad; the township also accepted delivery schedules for a new aerial tower and planned auction of the old apparatus.
The Norwich Township trustees recorded multiple equipment procurements and authorized payments at meetings through 1987. The board authorized a partial payment of $33,984.62 to Center City International Truck for a new road truck and withheld a final payment of $9,821 until the vehicle was delivered and the snow‑plow and spreader were mounted.
At an earlier meeting trustees opened bids for a new fire squad. Horton was listed as the lone bidder at $53,855 with a $5,000 allowance for the old squad; trustees directed staff to retain bids and to consider disposal or auction strategies for replaced vehicles.
The minutes also note delivery and acceptance steps for a new aerial tower apparatus (Sutphen) and that the board approved training and parts purchases related to the tower and ladder truck. Trustees instructed the clerk to advertise the old truck and to schedule training before putting a new aerial tower into active service.
