Hewitt council approves gravel purchase, grant-funded generators and plans sealed-bid sale of surplus equipment
Summary
On April 14 the Hewitt City Council approved using the Jacob Bower Trail fund to buy gravel for the trail and parking lot and authorized ordering generators funded by a Sourcewell grant; staff will sell an old tractor and plow truck by sealed bid.
The Hewitt City Council voted unanimously April 14 to allow staff to order gravel for the Jacob Bower Trail and parking lot and to proceed with ordering generators paid for by a Sourcewell grant.
Staff member Luke Mitchell told the council maintenance used a newly acquired payloader to clean around the dump and asked permission to purchase gravel from Braaten using the Jacob Bower Trail fund and to order grant-funded generators. Council member Jim McGaffey moved to approve the purchases and Mayor Gloriann Bartels seconded; the minutes record the motion carried with all in favor.
Mitchell also said the city will offer the old tractor and plow truck for sale by sealed bid, advertise the sale on the city’s new website and the city Facebook page for one month, and open bids at the next council meeting. The minutes do not record a separate motion for the sale; they describe the planned process as staff direction.
The minutes indicate the generators are funded through a Sourcewell grant; no dollar amounts or delivery timelines were recorded at the meeting. Additional procurement steps, vendor selection criteria, and expected installation timelines were not specified in the meeting record.
