Caledonia board approves Collins Electric for lighting repairs at Ola J. Pickett
Summary
The Town of Caledonia Board of Aldermen voted unanimously (4–0, one absence) Feb. 10 to hire Collins Electric to repair lighting and squirrel damage at Ola J. Pickett, picking Collins based on past experience despite a slightly higher written quote.
The Town of Caledonia Board of Aldermen voted Feb. 10 to approve Collins Electric to perform lighting and squirrel-damage repairs at Ola J. Pickett.
Alderman Jason Chrest moved to approve Collins Electric as “the lowest and best quote between Collins Electric ($7,500) and Hattaway Electric ($7,400)” and cited the town’s prior experience with both contractors; Alderman Robert Jacobs seconded. The board recorded a 4–0 vote in favor, with Alderman Matt Chisolm marked absent.
The motion authorizes repairs described in the contractors’ bids; the minutes record the two competing written quotes but do not specify a contract length, start date or funding line item. Town staff present at the meeting included Interim Chief Town Marshal Tony Perkins and Water Department Manager Brad Box; Donna Glasgow, town clerk, attested the minutes.
The approval is a formal board action requiring execution of contractor paperwork and any standard town procurement follow-up. The minutes do not indicate a scheduled start date for the work or whether additional permits or inspections will be required.
