Commission accepts $45,999.99 bid for surplus motor
Summary
The City Commission voted to sell a surplus motor to Warren Hovland for $45,999.99 after reviewing six bids; sale terms require a 10% down payment and completion within 14 days of the city's delivery of its replacement unit.
The City Commission voted to accept a $45,999.99 bid from Warren Hovland for a surplus motor, the commission recorded in a roll-call vote.
Committee member (S3) reviewed six bids for the motor, which ranged from about $31,800 to $65,002, and noted differences in quoted training values. After discussion, S3 moved to accept the $45,999.99 bid; the motion was seconded and carried in a roll-call vote in which commissioners responded in the affirmative.
The commission specified sale terms during the discussion: the buyer must provide a 10% down payment and complete the sale within 14 days of the city taking delivery of its replacement unit. Committee member (S3) explained the timeline for delivery and that the city will track a final delivery date with the seller.
The decision follows a staff report on delivery timing (shipment expected to arrive in Bismarck then prepared for transport to the city) and discussion about training and accessory components. No member questioned the legal authority to sell surplus equipment; the commission proceeded by motion and formal vote.
The accepted bid authorizes staff to complete the sale under the stated terms and return to routine business.
