Summary

The Select Board authorized the public works director to buy two 2026 GMC pickup trucks from O'Connor GMC for $87,800 to replace and supplement the department fleet; one will go to the deputy director, the other to crew use.

The board voted unanimously to allow the public works director to use capital funds to purchase two 2026 GMC pickup trucks from O'Connor GMC for a total of $87,800.

Matt Gunner, director of public works, told the board he compared prices across dealers and found the best value at O'Connor Motors. “I would ask the board to allow use of funds out of the 2627 capital budget for public works to buy 2 identical pickup trucks for a total of $87,800,” he said. One truck will be assigned to the deputy director; the other will be shifted down to crew use. The trucks are double-cab, long-bed 1/2-ton models prepared for plow installation but not plow-equipped at purchase. Anne Callahan moved to authorize the purchase; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
