Trappe to buy two public-works trucks from IG Burton using ARPA funds
Summary
The Trappe Council approved purchasing two 2024 Chevy Silverado trucks from IG Burton using ARPA funds, setting a combined maximum purchase price of $150,000; President Schmidt will inquire about swapping the 3500's utility bed for a regular bed.
The Trappe Town Council approved the purchase of two public-works vehicles from IG Burton at its Aug. 7 meeting and authorized the use of remaining ARPA funds to cover the expense.
Administrator Erin Braband presented seven quotes during the workshop; the Council's consensus was to select quote #1 (a 2024 3500 Chevy Silverado 4WD with utility bed and snow plow) and quote #3 (a 2024 2500 Chevy Silverado 4WD with utility bed). The minutes state the Council set a maximum purchase price for both trucks of $150,000 and asked President Schmidt to ask whether the 3500's bed can be changed to a regular bed. Commissioner Rose Potter moved to purchase the two trucks from IG Burton and use ARPA funds; Commissioner Michael Sullivan seconded and the motion was recorded as unanimously approved.
The minutes do not allocate a department capital line-item in the same record; staff were directed to complete procurement steps and follow established purchase and ARPA expenditure procedures.
