Lorenzo council authorizes bids for sewer-jetting machine using ARPA funds
Summary
Council voted to solicit bids for a new sewer-jetting machine to be funded with ARPA dollars and to return with a purchase recommendation at a later meeting; the motion passed 4–0 with one absence.
The Lorenzo City Council authorized staff to solicit bids for a new sewer-jetting machine to be funded from ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) dollars, voting to move forward with procurement planning on Dec. 9.
Council Member Cheryl Birdwell made the motion to obtain bids for a sewer machine and to table the purchase decision for later consideration; Council Member Rhonda Cypert seconded. The motion passed with four votes in favor and one council member absent. City Manager Michael Chambers and Public Works Director Chad Mobbs were listed among staff in attendance and will be the likely contacts for procurement and bid specifications.
Councilmembers did not specify an approximate purchase price or a vendor; the council only authorized going to bid. The vote authorizes staff to solicit multiple bids and return with cost estimates and a recommendation before any expenditure of ARPA funds.
