Spencer council accepts higher bid from Katom for community-kitchen equipment, citing grease-strainer inclusion
Summary
The council accepted Katom's $18,789.41 bid for community-kitchen equipment over a lower $16,329.29 bid from Chief Deals; the extension office advised that Katom's package includes a grease strainer that may help an ongoing grinder-pump issue. The motion passed on a 4–0 roll call with one absence.
The UT Extension office presented two bids for equipment for the community kitchen: Chief Deals at $16,329.29 and Katom at $18,789.41. Chris Binkley told the council that the electric work is already complete and plumbing awaits the dishwasher installation; he noted several differences between the bids, including Katom’s inclusion of a grease strainer, which he said may be beneficial given an ongoing grinder-pump issue. Delivery was estimated at two to three weeks.
Alderman David Chandler moved to accept the Katom bid in the amount of $18,789.41; Vice Mayor Drew Campbell seconded. The roll call vote recorded four yes votes and one absence, and the motion passed.
