Emergency manager proposes and commissioners accept $70,096.20 bid for rural fire brush truck
Summary
Commissioners approved a $70,096.20 bid from Emergency Vehicle Resources for a rural fire brush truck after an emergency-management review; lead time is approximately eight weeks and one commissioner recorded a no vote.
Chair opened discussion of old business, then Michael Smith (emergency manager) summarized the fire board's review of specifications and asked the commission to accept a corrected bid from Emergency Vehicle Resources. "I would like to go ahead and propose that we accept the bid from Emergency Vehicle Resources in the amount of $70,096.20," Smith said.
Commissioners discussed specifics including a correction to the bid amount and manufacturing lead time. Smith said the lead time for the chosen unit would be "approximately 8 weeks" and contrasted it with other bids that had lead times of five months. The board moved to accept the bid; the motion passed with recorded votes in the transcript showing at least two affirmative votes and one dissenting vote.
The accepted bid covers a brush truck with the aluminum bed price corrected on the bid record. The emergency manager and staff will proceed with ordering; the commission did not add additional conditions in the recorded discussion. The delivery timeframe discussed was roughly eight weeks, though staff noted this could change.
