Select Board asks committee to review truck and 10‑wheeler bids before award
Summary
The board received multiple truck and equipment bids (examples: 10‑wheeler quote ~$192,976; other chassis bids up to $302,127) and voted to have the committee analyze bids and return recommendations at the next meeting.
The Select Board reviewed a packet of truck and equipment bids for several vehicle classes and directed the committee to evaluate and return with recommendations.
Board members noted multiple high-cost line items and a mix of delivery timelines and configurations. Examples from the packet included a Western Star 10‑wheeler quote around $192,976 and other total quotes for chassis and equipment reaching six figures (one combined total listed around $302,127). The board voted to have the committee cross‑check bid compliance, delivery dates and total cost of ownership and report back at the next regular meeting.
No award was made at the meeting; staff and the committee will prepare a detailed comparison and advice for the board.
