Summary
Trustees approved buying a Ford F-250 for the water department from a local dealer for $52,062.63, citing availability and cost savings compared with cooperative pricing; $70,000 was budgeted for the purchase.
Staff recommended waiving the bidding process and purchasing a Ford F-250 pickup for the water department from a local dealer (Gerald Ford) for $52,062.63, noting cooperative purchasing pricing had been higher and lead times were 6 to 8 months for the cooperative option. Staff said the village had $70,000 budgeted for the purchase.
Trustees thanked staff for finding the available truck and approved the purchase by roll call. The transcript notes a shorter lead time and cost savings as reasons for waiving formal bidding; the board recorded the vote in favor.
