Parks Department cleared to buy Gator now to begin season; committee approves $15,165 purchase
Summary
The committee allowed the Parks Department to buy a Gator from Greenmark Equipment for $15,165 (plus about $300 shipping) to meet immediate seasonal needs, overriding the lower bidder's 30-day delivery window; motion carried.
Jill Adams told the committee that the Parks Department needs a new Gator immediately because the season is underway. The lowest bidder on Bid 2026-055 would deliver in 30 days; Greenmark Equipment (Sodus) offered faster delivery for a higher price. The committee agreed to absorb approximately $300 in shipping costs and authorized the purchase from Greenmark Equipment for $15,165 (motion by Commissioner Rayonte Bell, supported by Commissioner Teri Freehling).
Committee members noted the department can cover the shipping fee within its current budget and prioritized getting equipment into service quickly for ongoing park operations.
