Kirklin awards playground mulch contract after three competitive bids
Summary
The Kirklin Town Council awarded a 40‑yard playground mulch job to the low bidder noted in the motion (transcript shows contractor names inconsistently spelled); three firms submitted bids clustered around $1,839–$1,842.
The Kirklin Town Council approved awarding the town's playground mulch contract after reviewing three competitive 40‑yard bids. The council voted by voice to accept the lowest bid as proposed in the motion; the transcript records the motion carrying but does not provide a numeric roll‑call tally.
Billy presented the three bids: Medzinger Construction at $1,839.46, Barrett Farms at $1,840.40 and Green Cycle at $1,842.00, all for 40 yards of material. A council member moved to award the work to "Mittinger" (the transcript contains both "Medzinger Construction" and "Mittinger" in different lines); the motion was seconded and carried.
Council members noted the bids were closely grouped and thanked local volunteers and contacts who had helped coordinate material donations in previous projects; Green Cycle was identified in the transcript as a past donor to roadside bumpouts. The transcript does not specify which budget line or funding source will cover the cost.
Next steps: award paperwork and scheduling will proceed with the selected contractor; the transcript does not state a contract start date or payment schedule.
