Select Board opens truck bids and defers award for further review
Summary
The board opened multiple bids for chassis and 10‑wheelers including Western Star and International offerings; members agreed to review the full specifications and return with recommendations at the next meeting rather than award immediately.
Board members opened and skimmed multiple proposals for new trucks and a 10‑wheeler, with bids ranging across manufacturers and configurations. The chair and procurement lead asked staff to compile specs, delivery dates and total cost comparisons and present a recommendation at the next meeting. "We'll review these and come back to the next meeting with an opinion on where we go from there," a member said.
Members noted some bids arrived by email rather than hard copy and asked for acceptance of emailed bids in this instance due to postal delays; the board agreed to take that approach for the current procurement and to complete a more detailed review before awarding any vehicle purchases.
