Sharpsburg awards three‑year snow‑removal contract to sole bidder B&B Automotive

Sharpsburg’s Mayor and Council voted Oct. 6 to accept a three‑year snow‑removal contract with B&B Automotive, LLC, the sole bidder on the solicitation. The motion to approve the 2026–2028 bid was made by Councilmember Robbie Waters and seconded by Councilmember Anne‑Marie McCullough; the motion carried.

The bid package and attached rate table document hourly rates and unit prices for equipment and services. The submission repeats the incumbent contractor’s offer across three contract years and lists separate rates for truck and plow, tractor with bucket, dump truck hauling, salt application, and salt per ton. The council’s minutes include the bid schedule as an attachment for the public record but do not record an individual roll‑call vote or tally of yes/no votes.

Council members did not request additional bidders or open discussion beyond the motions recorded in the minutes; the award was taken as a routine contract authorization. The minutes note the current contract expires Dec. 31, 2025, and the awarded contract would cover 2026 through 2028.

Clarifying details attached to the council minutes show per‑unit pricing for 2026–2028 (documented in the bid attachment). The council did not place any additional conditions or amendments on the motion at the time of the vote.

The contract award is effective upon completion of any required town contracting formalities. The town will retain the bid rate schedule as part of the official record; further administrative steps (insurance, certificates of compliance) were not described in the meeting minutes.
