Council reviews new generator quotes for water maintenance
Summary
Council members heard three quotes for a 5,000-watt minimum generator to support water-department equipment, and discussed procurement and transfer of vehicles between departments.
The Corydon Town Council reviewed three bids this meeting to replace or upgrade the generator used for water-department equipment, an agency official said. The official said the current unit cannot power the field equipment and recommended a generator with a minimum of 5,000 watts; the three quotes read aloud at the meeting were about $8,490, $10,190 and $9,990.
Council members questioned whether other departmental vehicles could be repurposed to support the water department and discussed whether to retain an extra truck or auction it. The president asked staff to pursue a transfer to the street department if appropriate and to document the vehicle disposition.
The discussion did not conclude with a final vendor selection; staff was directed to bring procurement paperwork and vendor comparisons to a subsequent meeting for a formal decision.
Council members framed the generator purchase as operationally necessary for uninterrupted water-service equipment operation and requested that staff present a clear procurement recommendation and cost backup at the next meeting.
