Commission approves split fuel and propane awards after procurement review
Summary
Treasure County commissioners accepted bids for diesel, unleaded and propane after staff reviewed vendor pricing and tank logistics; board voted to split awards to balance lowest pricing with operational constraints.
Treasure County commissioners voted June 16 to accept competing bids for county fuel and propane, splitting awards to reflect price and delivery considerations. A motion to accept Town and Country for diesel and propane and Cross Patrolling for unleaded passed by voice vote.
During discussion, Commissioners raised concerns about billing, freight charges and whether rental tanks require county‑only purchases. "So I'll make a motion we accept the bid from Town and Country for the diesel on the bridal delivery. And propane," said Speaker 4, who moved the motion. Staff agreed to pull the underlying contracts and delivery periods for post‑vote reconciliation.
The commissioners acknowledged practical obstacles to centralizing fuel storage — including limited space for bulk tanks and monitoring requirements — and directed staff to verify contract terms and billing records before the next meeting. The vote produced several affirmations of 'Aye' and the motion carried; no member recorded a roll‑call tally in the transcript.
