Commission approves $5,124 road‑treatment purchase contingent on state‑bid documentation
Summary
The commission voted to approve a $5,124.84 purchase request for magnesium chloride (mag water) from CraftCo, conditioning the approval on the road department providing state‑bid documentation to the auditor's office.
Commissioners considered a purchase request from the road department to buy "mag water" (magnesium chloride) from CraftCo for $5,124.84. A commissioner asked whether the vendor represented a sole source and whether the purchase crossed the county threshold that would require competitive bidding. "Is this a sole source?" a committee member asked; the maker of the motion said they believed it might be the only company serving the area.
The board moved to approve the purchase but later amended that approval to be contingent on the road department providing state‑bid documentation for CraftCo to the auditor's office. The motion carried by voice vote after the amendment. The Chair explained the amendment: the approval stands only if state‑bid or equivalent procurement documentation is submitted to the auditor.
