Sutton foreman asks vendor to honor $12,828.61 backhoe repair quote
Summary
Highway Foreman Shane Heath said the town's backhoe is repaired but described conflicting repair estimates, including a $12,828.61 quote and a later $15,000 revision from ALTA Equipment that the foreman said should be honored at the lower price.
Highway Foreman Shane Heath reported the backhoe had been returned after repairs but flagged a dispute over repair pricing. Shane said the town received an initial estimate near $10,000, then a $12,828.61 quote, and that ALTA Equipment later told him labor had been omitted and raised the price to about $15,000. At the meeting he asked the company to honor the $12,828.61 quote; ALTA had not responded as of June 26.
Heath said Sutton should not be responsible for a post-quote increase tied to an omitted labor line item and pledged to update the board when the vendor replies. The board took no formal vote on the repair invoice at the meeting.
