County approves purchase of replacement dishwasher after vendor change
Summary
After Ecolab offered to terminate a maintenance contract, staff solicited replacement quotes and recommended a new dishwasher. The board approved buying a replacement for $12,544.97 after considering bids and warranties.
Facilities staff reported Ecolab was willing to terminate its kitchen maintenance contract and presented replacement options for a county dishwasher. Staff said one vendor, Pristine, quoted $12,544.97 to supply and install a direct-replacement dishwasher; another vendor provided a comparable quote but included an installation fee.
The board discussed warranty, service history and the county's prior experience with service providers. Commissioners asked staff to seek a second bid and advised caution about accepting the first available option. Staff later returned with a recommendation and the board approved the $12,544.97 purchase by motion and roll call.
Why it matters: Replacing failed kitchen equipment affects county operations and budget lines; procurement decisions include warranty, ongoing maintenance and service reliability considerations.
