Harrison awards $6,000 land‑clearing contract to prepare helipad site
Summary
Council approved M and B Tree Service and Land Clearing for $6,000 to clear the helicopter pad site; members raised scope, timing and alternative‑bid questions and asked staff to confirm grading and disposal arrangements with bidders.
The Town of Harrison council voted to award a $6,000 contract to M and B Tree Service and Land Clearing to prepare the helicopter‑pad area at the municipal airport.
Council recorded an initial motion to accept M and B's bid; the mayor placed the motion on the floor saying, "M and B tree service and land clearing in the amount of $6,000." Council members and staff then discussed the precise scope of work and bidder availability before finalizing the award.
During discussion staff and council expressed concern that some bidders might only remove a berm and not clean ditches throughout the site. Ryan relayed an alternate quote: Elite Land Clearing said it could reduce its price by $500 if allowed to dump at the town burn site, but the company’s representative (Charles) was reported to be engaged on a large job and might not be available immediately. Council asked staff to call bidders for clarity on start dates and exact scope so the town would not pay for unnecessary grading.
A final motion to approve M and B Tree and Land Clearing to clear the pad area was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. Council did not amend the dollar amount on the record.
