Council approves $6,989.56 replacement of South Elmer Street parking-lot fence
Summary
Caro City Council voted to accept a $6,989.56 quote from Halfway Fence Company to replace a storm-damaged fence at the South Elmer Street parking lot and instructed the treasurer to adjust the municipal-streets budget to cover the cost.
The Caro City Council voted to replace the storm-damaged fence at the South Elmer Street parking lot after the city manager presented a $6,989.56 quote from Halfway Fence Company. Council member (speaker 6) moved to accept Halfway's bid and asked the treasurer to make the necessary budget adjustments, and the motion carried on a roll-call vote called by the chair.
City manager (speaker 2) told the council the fence had been temporarily propped after windy storms and that Halfway Fence Company, which has done past local work, submitted the lowest quote. "This is unbudgeted because we didn't plan on replacing this, but the weather changed our minds," the city manager said when explaining why a budget amendment was needed. A council member asked why additional quotes were not sought; the manager replied the job was under the formal bidding threshold and the company is the local vendor that typically performs this work. The chair confirmed the motion carried after a recall vote that recorded the positions of council members.
