Jewett board approves fuel-tank replacement and computerized tracking system
Summary
After reviewing three bids for replacing aging fuel tanks, the board approved the lower-cost bid that included tank replacement and a separate vendor for a computerized tracking system; members raised procurement threshold and emergency concerns.
The board reviewed three bids to replace a 1,000-gallon on-road fuel tank and a 500-gallon gasoline tank and to install a computerized fuel-tracking system. S7 summarized the bids and recommended selecting the MaineCare proposal for the tanks and a separate vendor for the computer system, noting the combined cost would be substantially less than an earlier higher bid.
S7 described the MaineCare bid and the computer-system cost: "the Dolphin for tracking and reporting and controlling, it's, 21,000 for the computer system and 18,644 for the tanks and installment and removal of old tanks." The board discussed procurement rules (a $30,000 threshold) and whether to declare an emergency; members agreed the replacement was justified and approved the recommendation unanimously.
