Town board moves to hire contractor for water‑tower inspections; quote language prompts clarification
Summary
Clerk read a resolution to hire Advanced Tank and Infrastructure Solutions for water‑tower inspection and sediment removal; resolution language listed $8,700 per day, and staff clarified that the practical unit price appeared to be $4,350 per tank (total $8,700).
The Town of Peru board read a resolution authorizing the water‑sewer superintendent to hire Advanced Tank and Infrastructure Solutions to perform inspections and sediment removal for the town’s water towers. The resolution cites the town law authority and lists a cost of $8,700 per day and asks that work be completed as soon as possible.
During discussion staff clarified the vendor quote: while the resolution language reads "$8,700 per day," staff said the practical reading is two units at $4,350 each for a total of $8,700 for both tanks. One official said, "It's a total of 8,700 for both tanks," while the clerk read the resolution text that includes the $8,700 figure. Members requested that the resolution be amended or clarified to reflect the unit pricing before funds are transferred.
Next steps: the board discussed amending the resolution language to clarify unit pricing in the vendor quote and ensure appropriation or fund transfer wording matched the intended cost.
